Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and place the unbaked pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish.
-
In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped rhubarb, 1 cup of sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon. Stir well to combine. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
-
In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and remaining ½ cup of sugar until smooth and creamy.
-
Add the sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Beat until well combined and smooth.
-
Pour half of the cream cheese mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
-
Spoon the rhubarb filling over the cream cheese layer, spreading it out to cover the entire surface.
-
Carefully pour the remaining cream cheese mixture over the rhubarb filling, smoothing it out with a spatula.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden.
-
Remove from the oven and let the pie cool on a wire rack before transferring it to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours.
-
Once chilled, slice and serve the Rhubarb Cheesecake Pie, garnishing with extra rhubarb pieces or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
