Cream Cheese Rhubarb Pie - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/4 cup cornstarch
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 pinch salt
1/2 cup water, at room temperature
2 cups sliced rhubarb, in 1/2-inch pieces
1 unbaked pie shell, nine inch
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
2 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
whipped cream, for garnish

Preparation

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
In a saucepan, combine the cornstarch, sugar, cinnamon and salt.
Add water and stir until well combined.
Add the rhubarb, and over medium-high heat let simmer, stirring often, until it thickens.
(If using frozen rhubarb, let it thaw before using in recipe.) Pour into pie shell.
Bake at 425 degrees for 10 minutes.
While the bottom half is baking, make the top: beat together the cream cheese, eggs, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
When bottom half of pie has finished baking, remove it from the oven and pour the cream cheese mixture on top.
Reduce the heat of the oven to 325 degrees and return the pie to the oven.
Bake for 35 minutes or until set.
Let cool and chill for several hours or overnight.
Before serving, garnish with whipped cream.
