Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars - My Incredible Recipes (2024)

Who says that you have to wait until Thanksgiving to enjoy pumpkin pie? These Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars are a fabulous treat and are not too difficult to make- make sure you save this recipe for the upcoming holidays or even Halloween!

Prepare a cross between pumpkin pie and a sweet cheesecake with these Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars. They’re the perfect quick and simple dessert to enjoy after dinner or as a midday snack.

Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars combine two popular desserts into one easy and delicious treat that you can eat at home or on the go. If you love pumpkin pie and are also a fan of cheesecake, these squares are everything you could want in a dessert. They’re sweet, slightly savory, and have an incredible homemade crust at the bottom made with graham cracker crumbs.

• These squares are a lot easier to make than you might realize!

• You won’t need a lot of ingredients to put the Pumpkin Cheesecake Squares together. Most of these ingredients are readily available at local grocery stores.

• These squares are perfect for a quick dessert or a special treat at any family function, such as a holiday dinner or a birthday party. You might even want to bring them into the office to share with your co-workers!

With the right ingredients, you can make this delicious dessert. You’ll need:

• Graham Cracker Crumbs. Use the crumbs to create a crisp and sweet crust for your squares.

• Unsalted Butter. Melt the butter and combine it with the graham cracker crumbs for the crust.

• Sugar. Use granulated sugar in the crust to give it a sweeter taste.

• Cream Cheese. Let your two packages of cream cheese sit out and soften at room temperature.

• Pure Pumpkin Puree. Use the pure pumpkin puree to give these squares that pumpkin pie-like taste.

You’ll also need pumpkin pie spice, eggs, and more granulated sugar to complete this easy and delicious dessert recipe.

Use a food processor to crush your graham crackers into crumbs. If you don’t have one to use, you can always use your clean, dry hands to break them into pieces or roll over them with a rolling pin to crush them with ease.

The brand of cream cheese used in this recipe isn’t important. However, you’ll need to make sure that you’re getting full-fat cream cheese. Avoid any of the low-fat or fat-free options when you’re buying cream cheese for this recipe.

Pumpkin pie spice is often available at local grocery stores. You should be able to find it in the baking aisle. If not, it’s typically with the other spices. If you can’t find it at your local store, you can order it online.

Leave the mixture in the oven for about 50 minutes to allow everything to cook evenly. Once the cheesecake looks like it’s set, open the oven door and turn the oven off while leaving the cheesecake to rest for an hour.

Although these Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars are amazing as is, you can drizzle a bit of caramel syrup on top for added flavor. The caramel flavor pairs well with the pumpkin and cheesecake flavors. Some people like to add mini white chocolate chips or butterscotch chips on top of these squares as an additional touch, even some vanilla ice cream would be amazing, but this is optional for you!

No, it’s not a good idea to slice into the dessert or serve it while it’s still warm from baking in the oven. Instead, place it in the fridge and let it sit there to chill for a minimum of three hours. Once it’s chilled long enough, you can slice it and serve these Pumpkin Cheesecake Squares.

Slice the Cream Cheese Pumpkin Bars into individual servings and wrap each serving in plastic wrap. You can put them in a food container or on a serving tray and place them in the fridge. You’ll need to keep these squares refrigerated until you’re ready to eat them. If not, they’ll go bad!
