What an elegant dessert. Impressive looking and very tasty. The combination of the rhubarb and the cheesecake complement each other. Not an overly sweet dessert.

Very good dessert, I only made 1/2 a recipe which is a good thing as it was tempting to keep eating more!

This was great!My co-workers loved it even the ones that don't like rhubarb loved it.

I made this recipe for my husband because it had rhubarb and cheesecake - two of his favorite things. It was easy to make. I made mine with a little of strawberries too. I really enjoyed it and cheesecake is not one of my favorite items for dessert. It was not overly rich (like cheesecake can be). It was delicious. I am sure my husband will be asking for this again. Thank you for posting.
