This was easy to make and absolutely delicious. I only got one piece before the rest was gone. I plan on using this recipe often.

Wouldn't make this again, followed recipe exactly as written. Neither rhubarb filling nor cream cheese part was very flavorful... no one would eat it at my house :( I really wanted to like it because rhubarb and cheesecake are pretty much my favorite things in the summer! On the plus side, it was really pretty and holds up very well in the fridge for at least a week.
