Whenever my mom and I have a "rhubarb attack", we make this pie! Although we haven't farmed much of late, my husband and I call the old family homestead home. Our grown son's the fifth generation to live here.

Ingredients

1/4 cup cornstarch
1 cup sugar
Pinch salt
1/2 cup water
3 cups sliced fresh or frozen rhubarb (1/2-inch pieces)
1 unbaked pie shell (9 inches)
TOPPING:
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
2 large eggs
1/2 cup sugar
Whipped cream
Sliced almonds

Directions

In a saucepan, combine the cornstarch, sugar and salt. Add water; stir until smooth. Add rhubarb. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Pour into the pie shell; bake at 425° for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, for topping, beat cream cheese, eggs and sugar until smooth. Pour over pie. Reduce heat to 325°. Bake for 35 minutes or until set. Cool. Chill several hours or overnight. Garnish with whipped cream and sliced almonds.

This was delicious! Everyone loved it. I was told it was "too die for" and "something you'd get at a nice restaurant". It was very easy to make. It did take about 6 minutes for the sauce to thicken, but that was the only time alteration I had to make. I will definitely be making this again!

Be sure to use a deep dish pie shell for this recipe.
