Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Rhubarb
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 Pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream (optional, for topping)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash and dice the rhubarb into small pieces, then set it aside.
In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and flour together. Sprinkle this mixture over the rhubarb and toss to coat evenly.
In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the cream cheese, and continue mixing until well combined.
Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, crimping the edges as desired. Pour the rhubarb mixture into the crust, spreading it out evenly.
Carefully pour the cream cheese mixture over the rhubarb, using a spatula to spread it evenly if necessary.
Place the pie on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
If desired, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar to make a simple whipped cream topping. Serve the pie topped with the whipped cream or enjoy it plain.
