A creamy cheesecake infused with tart rhubarb, layered with a crunchy graham cracker crust.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh rhubarb, chopped
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Rhubarb: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the chopped rhubarb and granulated sugar. Cook until the rhubarb breaks down and releases its juices, about 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Once thickened, remove from heat and allow it to cool.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Continue to mix until the mixture is thick and fluffy, reaching a velvety consistency.
  3. Create the Graham Cracker Crust: In a separate bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are fully coated and have a sandy texture.
  4. Assemble the Layers: In serving glasses or bowls, start by adding a layer of the graham cracker crust mixture at the bottom. Press it down gently to create a firm base. Next, add a layer of the cheesecake filling, spreading it evenly over the crust. Follow with a generous spoonful of the rhubarb mixture on top.
  5. Chill and Set: Once all layers are assembled, cover the glasses with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 60 minutes, or until set.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Just before serving, add an extra dollop of whipped cream on top, and if you’re feeling fancy, garnish with a slice of fresh rhubarb or a mint leaf for a pop of color.

Notes

For a healthier version, use low-fat cream cheese and whipped cream.
