Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 1/4 cup sugar. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  3. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form a solid crust.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix chopped rhubarb with 1 cup of sugar and let it sit for about 10 minutes.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Gradually add the sour cream and vanilla, mixing thoroughly. Then beat in the eggs one at a time.
Baking
  1. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the prepared crust, smoothing the top.
  2. Evenly distribute the rhubarb mixture on top.
  3. Bake for 50-60 minutes, until the center is set and slightly jiggly.
  4. Allow the cheesecake to cool at room temperature for one hour, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours before serving.

Notes

Serve chilled and consider garnishing with fresh rhubarb slices or whipped cream. Store leftovers in an airtight container.
