Cherry Rhubarb Cream Cheese Shortbread Dessert Bars
This was a "Homemade Rhubarb Bar" recipe from BromaBakery.com that recommends to "Use room temperature ingredients — When making the cream cheese shortbread base, you need to let the butter and cream cheese come to room temperature before creaming them together. This will make the shortbread crust easier to mix and will give it a much better texture." And to "Chill the rhubarb bars — Just like lemon bars, these rhubarb bars need to cool completely in the fridge before you can cut into them. These bars need time to set properly, sorry to make you wait!" I used home grown fresh rhubarb stalks from our own backyard that I personally picked myself. I also added cherries and brown sugar to make the recipe "my own" a little bit. #onerecipeonetree #rhubarb #dessert #rhubarbdessert #dessertbars

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Opt for thinner, red rhubarb stalks — When choosing your rhubarb from the store or farmers market, go for the stalks that are mostly red and thinner. These stalks will be sweeter than the thick green ones.
- 2
In a medium pot, combine chopped rhubarb, sugar, and water and heat over medium heat for 10-12 minutes, or until the rhubarb is completely broken down. Transfer mixture to a blender and puree until smooth. Set aside.
- 3
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9×13 baking dish with parchment paper and set aside. In a standing mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, cream the butter, cream cheese, sugar, salt and vanilla extract until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Turn mixer to low speed and incorporate flour. Press dough firmly onto the bottom of the baking dish, spreading evenly to the edges. Bake for 15 minutes.
- 4
While the shortbread is cooking, make the rhubarb curd! In a large bowl, whisk all ingredients except for the flour. Here is also where I added the cherries and brown sugar. Use as much red dye as you’d like, and remember that the color will fade a bit during cooking. Once mixed, whisk in the flour.
- 5
Pour the rhubarb curd on top of the cream cheese shortbread, then bake for an additional 20 minutes to set the rhubarb.
- 6
Cool bars for at least 4 hours in fridge.
- 7
Then cut and top with powdered sugar! Serve & Enjoy!

Pumpkin Dessert Squares with Shortbread Crust Pumpkin Dessert Squares with Shortbread Crust
While there’s nothing quite like a pumpkin pie, making a crust from scratch can be a little tricky. This recipe delivers all the creamy goodness of a pie while avoiding the effort of making a crust. I made this for a Friendsgiving dinner, and it was a major hit, with people coming back for seconds! So, not only is it easy, but delicious, too! This is definitely a recipe that I’ll be making again and again.The original recipe is from Taste of Home. However, I added a small amount of salt to the crust and also added some vanilla extract and nutmeg to the filling. The homemade whipped cream is optional, but highly recommended.#Thanksgiving #Holiday #Easy #Dessert

Millionaire Bars (Caramel Shortbread Bars) Millionaire Bars (Caramel Shortbread Bars)
This caramel shortbread bar has been around a long time. In trying to find its origin it seems most likely to have started in Scotland when milk, eggs and sugar were in short supply. So the caramel was made with a sweetend condensed milk. There are a few variations on the recipe but all have a shortbread crust, then a soft caramel layer topped with melted chocolate. My version adds toffee bits and a blend of chocolate topping. The darker you cook the caramel the firmer it will become. My bars have a soft consistancy. These bars are really simple to make and are delicious!
