In a bowl, combine the flour and sugar; cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.  Press into a greased 13" x 9" baking pan.  Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, for filling, combine sugar and flour in a bowl.  Whisk in cream and eggs.  Stir in the rhubarb.  Pour over crust.  Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes or until custard is set.  Cool in pan on a wire rack.

For topping, beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth; fold in whipped  cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth; fold in whipped cream.  Spread over top.  Cover and refrigerate.  Cut into bars.  Store in the refrigerator.
