Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars
List of Ingredients
1 c. flour 1/3 c. brown sugar
To this mixture, cut in 5 T. butter, softened.
Stir in: 1/2 c. chopped nuts (I use walnuts, but pecans would be good, too!)
Set aside 3/4 c. of the above mixture for top. Press remaining amount in a
buttered 8x8" pan. Bake at 350 for 15 mins. Cool slightly.
Combine until smooth:
8 oz. cream cheese 1 1/2 cinnamon 3/4 c. sugar 1 t. allspice 1/2 c. pumpkin 1
t. vanilla 2 eggs
Pour cream cheese mixture over baked crust. Sprinkle with reserved topping.
Bake 30-35 minutes at 350. Cool before cutting.
Recipe
Note: I do not have an 8x8" pan, so I always make them in a 9x13" pan. (My
neighbors just usually get some!) I double everything, except for the pumpkin. I
put in the entire can! (The small 14 or 15 oz. ones...has about 2 cups in it.) I
also use, instead of the allspice, about 1/4 t. of cloves and 1/2 t. of ginger.
I cut them into about 1 1/2" squares, but I was just thinking, they could be cut
into bigger pieces and have whipped cream put on them!! Mmmmm.....
