My grandparents grew a ton of stuff in their garden, including rhubarb and strawberries. We typically baked it into pies and cobblers, but then Mom found this recipe and it became a fresh, new favorite. —LeeAnn McCue, Charlotte, North Carolina

This pie did not set, and considering there is no way to incorrectly measure a brick of cream cheese and a can of sweetened condensed milk, I don't recommend this recipe at all.

Very simple and easy to make. My family does not like rhubarb, so I subbed blueberries for the rhubarb but did use the strawberries. Other than that made the recipe as stated (except did cut back some on sugar since not using rhubarb). My family gobbled it up.

Wow, wow, wow. I got tons of great feedback on this, and it was simple and delicious. Everyone keeps asking me for the recipe! I love rhubarb and will now make this every year!

This is a lovely summery and light recipe. Sweet enough and with a fresh lemony twist. I loved it!
