Hi Friends!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re looking for a delicious way to use up some of the beautiful rhubarb that you might see in the garden or on grocery store shelves during the spring and early summer months, these Rhubarb Custard Bars are worth a try!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I first published this recipe way back in 2011 because it’s one of my dad’s very favorite desserts. When I saw some rhubarb at the store the other day, I decided it was high time to make a batch and show you all just how easy and delicious they are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How To Make Rhubarb Custard Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These bars have 3 layers but each one is super easy to put together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make the shortbread crust, just mix together some flour and sugar and then cut in cold butter until you have a crumbly mixture. Press it into the bottom of a pan and stick it in the oven. It will look super dry and crumbly but will come together in the oven as the butter melts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the crust is cooking, mix together the custard. Simply whisk together a little flour, eggs, milk and sugar. Then stir in the sliced rhubarb. Pour the mixture over the crust when it’s done baking and stick it back in the oven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the bars have cooked and cooled to room temperature, it’s time to make the frosting. Use an electric mixer to mix some cream cheese, cool whip and vanilla. Then add powdered sugar until the frosting is sweet enough for you. Spread it over the top of the bars and enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
