How To Make creamy rhubarb cheesecake

Step 1

FOR CRUST: Mix together flour, sugar and butter. Press crust into 10 inch pie plate covering bottom and sides. Set aside

Step 2

FOR LAYER 1, RHUBARB: Combine rhubarb, sugar and flour. Stir together lightly and pour into crust. Bake at 375 degrees for about 15 minutes. Prepare Layer 2 mixture while this layer bakes. Remove from oven.
