Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, cubed

  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • RHUBARB LAYER:
  • 4 cups sliced fresh or frozen rhubarb
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • CHEESECAKE LAYER:
  • 2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened

Directions

  • In a large bowl, cut butter into flour until mixture resembles coarse crumbs; stir in pecans. Press into an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan.
  • Bake at 350° for 15 minutes. Combine rhubarb, sugar and flour; spoon over the crust. Bake for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth. Add eggs, beat on low speed just until combined.
  • Pour over hot rhubarb layer. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until center is almost set. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the sour cream, sugar and vanilla; spread over hot cheesecake. Sprinkle with additional pecans if desired. Cool on wire rack for 1 hour.
  • Refrigerate overnight. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 14-16 servings.

Editor's Note: If using frozen rhubarb, measure rhubarb while still frozen, then thaw completely. Drain in a colander, but do not press liquid out.

A friend and I were visiting a favorite Aunt earlier in the week. Her daughter had made this and I wish I could have taken some home, it was delicious.
