Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x13 inch baking pan lined with parchment paper.
- Toast the pecans in a skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and lightly browned.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Cut in unsalted butter until it resembles coarse crumbs. Fold in toasted pecans.
- Press the crust mixture into the prepared baking pan and bake for 12-15 minutes until the edges are golden brown. Let it cool.
- Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Gradually add in milk, lemon juice, vanilla, and salt. Mix in the egg last.
- Spread the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust and bake for 15-20 minutes until slightly jiggly in the center. Allow cooling for 30 minutes.
- In a saucepan, combine strawberries, rhubarb, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Cook on medium for 6-8 minutes until thickened.
- Spread the cooled fruit topping over the cheesecake layer. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours.
- Lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper. Cut into bars and serve cold.

Notes
Chill the bars thoroughly for at least 8 hours before cutting to ensure a neat presentation. Use parchment paper for easy removal.
