The Best Pumpkin Cheesecake bars

Yes, I realize that the past few posts are all sugary treats. But I can’t help myself, desserts are my Achilles heel. I promise something savory is coming soon. This weekend was so beautiful, the fall coolness in the air. The leaves are ever so slightly starting to change. It is about this time of year, every year, that I drag out my mom’s cookbook and make one of my favorite fall indulgences, the best pumpkin cheesecake bars. My love for these bars is hard to describe but I think I could eat the whole pan myself.

How to make pumpkin cheesecake bars

  • Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of the baking dish. You will bake this for 15 minutes and then let it cool.

  • Next, pour the pumpkin cream cheese mixture on top of the crust and sprinkle the rest of the crumble mixture on top to finish. Bake for thirty minutes and then let cool. These bars are best stored in the refrigerator and are terrific topped with a little bit of whipped cream.

    I just made these with walnuts since i was out of pecans. They are delicious! The pumpkin cheesecake flavor is decadent and yet it was easy to make. Will definitely make these again!
