Rhubarb Custard Bars

Rhubarb season! I grew up eating it every Summer and love it. I usually did the same cake or crumble so I wanted to branch out this year and try a new recipe. This was so good! 
It got rave reviews from family and friends. I definitely will be making this one again and again. This recipe came from Taste of Home.


Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup cold butter

Filling:

2 cups sugar
7 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup heavy whipping cream
3 eggs, beaten
5 cups finely chopped fresh or frozen rhubarb, thawed and drained

Topping: 

Cream cheese 6 oz - 3/4 of a brick, softened 
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped

Directions:

1. In a bowl, combine the flour and sugar; cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. (I use my food processor for this with the blade). It will look somewhat dry. Press into a greased 13x9 inch baking pan. Bake at 350 for 10 mins. 

2. Meanwhile, for filling, combine sugar and flour in a bowl. Whisk in cream and beaten eggs. Stir in the rhubarb. Pour over crust. Bake at 350 for 45-60 mins or until the custard is set in the middle. Cool.

3. For topping, beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth; fold in whipped cream. Spread over top. Cover and chill. Cut into bars. Store in the refrigerator.
