The first time I made these Rhubarb Cheesecake Squares, my kitchen smelled like buttery graham crust and sweet-tart rhubarb bubbling away on the stove, and I knew I had something special. I had a few stalks of fresh rhubarb sitting in my fridge, and instead of making the usual crisp, I decided to layer it over a rich cheesecake base with a crumbly topping. When I sliced into that first chilled square and saw those beautiful layers, I was completely hooked.
