Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Delicious Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 425°F (220°C).
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, softened butter, and a quarter cup of sugar.
Step 3
Mix these ingredients together until they form a smooth, well-blended dough that feels just right.
Step 4
Next, gently press this dough evenly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish, creating a lovely base for your delicious bars.
Step 5
Pop the dish into the preheated oven and bake for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until the crust turns a light golden brown.
Step 6
Once it’s done, let it cool while you prepare the next layers.
Step 7
Now, reduce the oven temperature to a warm 350°F (175°C).
Step 8
In a separate bowl, grab your electric mixer and beat together the cream cheese, another quarter cup of sugar, one egg, and a splash of vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy—this will be a delightful layer! In another bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, three-quarters of a cup of sugar, two eggs, and a sprinkle of cinnamon, salt, ginger, and cloves until everything is well combined and fragrant.
Step 9
Now it’s time to assemble your masterpiece! Spread the creamy cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crust, then gently pour the pumpkin mixture on top, creating a beautiful layered effect.
Step 10
Bake this delicious creation in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 60 minutes, or until the bars are set and your kitchen is filled with the warm aroma of fall.
Step 11
Once baked, let the bars cool to room temperature, then refrigerate them overnight to let all those wonderful flavors meld together.
Step 12
When you’re ready to serve, slice them up and enjoy a taste of autumn bliss!.
