    Rhubarb is slowly making its way back to the farmer’s markets and grocery stores. I’ve already seen some Rhubarb in early February, but at this point, I would never buy it… it’s just not the right time for it (yet). The recipe here for this Rhubarb Swirl Cheesecake is from last year actually. I love anything with rhubarb so I always have a few recipes “on hold” – recipes I made but never posted. Well… even though it’s still a bit early for rhubarb – now you got something to make if you spot the first “good” rhubarb in stores ;P

    I have to admit I would be more than happy if rhubarb was available all year round. I just love baking with it. Unfortunately, though, rhubarb is a bitch and does not want to grow all year round in Germany. The season for rhubarb starts in mid/late March or early April (it always depends on the weather) and ends on June 24th. A start in early February, as mentioned above, is definitely too early. Every year I see rhubarb so early – where that one is actually coming from and why he wants to be eaten so early – who knows ;P It can’t be rhubarb that has been grown outside on a field here in Germany. Not enough sun in the first couple of months in Germany to make that happen ;)

    Well… I have accepted (with a heavy heart) that I have to wait until March/April for my beloved rhubarb. A few months can be bridged after the season ends in June by freezing rhubarb. This normally helps until November/December – I do not recommend storing rhubarb longer than that in the freezer. Then the hard, rhubarb-free time begins. Sad times. Ok, that’s probably a bit exaggerated… I know. But it’s true ;P

    Anyway. The recipe here is, as already mentioned, from last season. I thought I can publish it now so you have something to look forward to. A teaser for the upcoming rhubarb season, so to speak. The cheesecake here is admittedly not a real beauty – the color and swirls sometimes remind me of a slice of coppa (the Italian meat) – but the flavor and texture of the cheesecake are really great. The flavors of cheesecake and rhubarb go really well together. If you have a problem with the “look” you can save some cheesecake filling and pour it over everything when the rhubarb filling has been “swirled in” ;) A good amount of whipped cream does the trick as well… just saying!

    If you need more inspiration for rhubarb bakes and stuff like that you should take a look at my little collection of rhubarb recipes. So many delicious things you can do with rhubarb!

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • Deutsch
    1. Start with the rhubarb compote. Wash and dry the rhubarb and cut off the ends. Cut into small cubes. Add together with the raspberries, sugar (or xylitol), and lemon juice to a small pot and heat up. Let the mixture cook and bubble until the rhubarb is very soft and the liquids have thickened a bit. Mix the cornstarch with water, then add to the pot and mix everything. Let cook and thicken up a bit more. Remove from the heat and let cool down.

    2. For the base add the biscoff cookies to a food processor and pulse until you get fine crumbs. You can do that step with a freezer bag and a rolling pin as well. Add the oats flour and mix in with the cookie crumbs. Add the melted butter and mix to combine. Line a 9 inches (23cm) springform tin with baking parchment, transfer the crumbs to the tin, and press to the bottom to get an even layer. Place in the fridge until needed.

    3. Preheat the oven to 320°F (160°C). For the filling mix cream cheese with sour cream, sugar (or xylitol), eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined. Sprinkle the cornstarch over the mixture and mix well to combine. Pour about half of the filling on the base in the baking tin, dollop half of the cooled rhubarb compote on top, and swirl a bit with a wooden skewer. Pour the remaining cream cheese mixture over everything and smooth out the top. Add the remaining compote on top and swirl again with the skewer. Bake for about 60 minutes – the edges of the cheesecake should have set but the center should still wobble a bit if you move the tin. Turn off the oven, open the door a bit and leave the cake inside the oven for another 30 minutes. Take out and let cool down completely, then place in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.

    1. Mit dem Rhabarberkompott anfangen und dafür den Rhabarber waschen, trocknen und dann in kleine Würfel schneiden. Zusammen mit den Himbeeren, Zucker (oder Xylit) und Zitronensaft in einen kleinen Topf geben und erhitzen. Die Mischung einige Zeit kochen und blubbern lassen, bis der Rhabarber sehr weich ist und die Flüssigkeit etwas eingekocht ist. Die Speisestärke mit Wasser anrühren, dann in den Topf dazugeben und alles gut verrühren – noch einen Moment köcheln lassen, bis die Flüssigkeit angedickt hat. Vom Herd nehmen und abkühlen lassen.

    2. Für den Boden die Biscoff Kekse in eine Küchenmaschine geben, in kurzen Abständen mixen, bis feine Krümel entstehen – wer keine Maschine hat, kann auch einfach einen Gefrierbeutel und ein Nudelholz verwenden. Die gemahlenen Haferflocken dazugeben und vermischen, dann die geschmolzene Butter dazugeben und alles gut vermengen. Eine 23cm (9 inches) Springform mit Backpapier auslegen und dann die feuchten Keksbrösel darauf verteilen. Zu einer ebenen Schicht zusammendrücken und dann bis zur weiteren Verwendung in den Kühlschrank stellen.

    3. Den Ofen auf 160°C (320°F) Ober-/Unterhitze vorheizen. Für die Füllung den Frischkäse mit Schmand, Zucker (oder Xylit), Eiern und Vanille Extrakt verrühren. Die Speisestärke über die Mischung streuen und gut verrühren. Etwa die Hälfte der Füllung auf den Boden in der Backform gießen, die Hälfte des abgekühlten Rhabarberkompotts darauf verteilen und dann mit einem Holzspieß ein wenig vermischen. Die restliche Frischkäsemischung darüber gießen und glatt streichen. Das verbliebene Kompott darauf verteilen und erneut mit dem Holzspieß etwas vermischen. Den Kuchen etwa 60 Minuten backen – die Ränder des Kuchens sollten fest sein, die Mitte darf allerdings noch ein wenig wackeln, wenn man an der Form rüttelt. Den Ofen ausschalten, die Tür ein wenig öffnen und den Kuchen weitere 30 Minuten im Ofen stehen lassen, dann herausholen und komplett abkühlen lassen. Den abgekühlten Kuchen für mindestens 4 Stunden oder über Nacht in den Kühlschrank stellen.
