Rhubarb Dream Bars are soft, sweet, and tangy dessert bars with a buttery shortbread crust and a creamy rhubarb filling. They’re the perfect springtime treat—simple to make and full of nostalgic flavor. Great for potlucks, family gatherings, or an afternoon snack with coffee.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

For the Filling:

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 2 cups finely chopped fresh rhubarb

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

  • Make the Crust:
    In a medium bowl, mix flour and sugar. Cut in the softened butter using a pastry cutter or fork until crumbly. Press mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.

  • Bake the Crust:
    Bake for 12–15 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden.

  • Make the Filling:
    While the crust bakes, whisk together eggs, sugar, flour, and salt in a bowl until smooth. Gently fold in chopped rhubarb.

  • Bake the Bars:
    Pour the rhubarb mixture over the hot crust. Return the pan to the oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the filling is set and lightly golden on top.

 

  • Cool and Cut:
    Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.

Notes

  • These bars can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days.

  • Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the filling for a warm spice twist.

  • Dust with powdered sugar before serving for a pretty finish.

  • Works great with frozen rhubarb—just thaw and drain first.
