A wonderful way to use rhubarb in the spring and summer, although any time since rhubarb and be frozen. This recipe was shared with me over 40 years ago! It is a family favorite.

- 4 Cups diced rhubarb (fresh or frozen)
- 8 Ounces cream cheese, room temp
- 1/4 Cup butter, room temp
- 2.5 Tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
- 1/2 Cup Flour
Preparations
- In a food processor, process the first butter, flour and confectioners sugar until crumbly, not smooth. Sprinkle in a 9 x 11 baking pan. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes or until slightly brown.
- In food processor, process the 1/4 cup butter, 2.5 tablespoons confectioners sugar and 1/3 cup flour until crumbly, set aside. (This is the top crumble.)
