Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 3 cups chopped fresh rhubarb

Instruction

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  • To make the shortbread crust I use a food processor.  Pulse the flour, sugar and butter together until the mixture is like sand, this should only take about 30 seconds.
  • Line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper, then press the crust mixture into the pan.  Don’t press it too hard.
  • Bake the crust for 15 minutes.
  • While the crust is baking you can make the rhubarb filling.
  • Chop your fresh rhubarb into 1/2 inch chunks.  Set aside.
  • Using a mixer, whip the eggs until they are smooth.
  • Add the sugar and continue mixing until the mixture starts to become fluffy.
  • Add the flour and salt, mix until the mixture is smooth and fluffy, almost like a meringue, but not as foamy.
  • Stir in the chopped rhubarb.
  • As soon as the crust is done baking, remove it from the oven and add the rhubarb mixture to the top of it.  Smooth it out.
  • Return to the oven and continue baking for 40 – 45 minutes, or until the top of the dream bars are golden brown.
  • Once the bars are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them rest in the pan for at least 1 hour before cutting into it.
  • After the bars have had time to cool, cut into 16 pieces.  Enjoy!
