Frosted Rhubarb Custard Bars Recipe
Directions
CRUST:
  • Preheat the oven to 350° F. Grease the bottom and sides of a 9 x 13 baking pan.
  • Combine the flour and sugar in a bowl and then cut in the butter until the mixture is coarse and crumbly; press into the bottom of the prepared baking pan and bake for 10 minutes.
FILLING:
  • While the crust is baking, combine the sugar and flour in a large mixing bowl. Add the cream and eggs; whisk all together until well mixed.
  • Add the rhubarb and stir to mix in evenly. Pour the filling over the crust once it comes out of the oven.
  • Return to the oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until the filling is set. Allow bars to cool completely before frosting.
FROSTING:
  • Whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form; set aside.
  • Beat the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla together until smooth; fold in the whipped cream just until well mixed.
  • Spread over the top of the cooled bars. Cover, chill and store in the refrigerator.
