EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

The pudding-cream cheese filling in this dessert tastes like a rich cheesecake, but requires no baking.

For best flavor and texture, serve these dessert squares within 24 hours.

The fruit topping on this dessert is quite thick. Drop it over the cream filling by small spoonfuls, then use a rubber scraper to carefully spread it over filling. It’s OK if some of the filling shows through the topping.

I think this is the best rhubarb dessert. Just right in sweetness and creaminess. Yum!
