Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars
Well, now that Fall is officially here according to the calendar, I guess there’s no sense in denying it anymore, and it’s time to move on from Banana Split Poke Cakes and onto all the deliciousness that is fall flavors! And by fall flavors I’m talking about apples, cinnamon, chai, pumpkin, and nuts, and I’m sure there are many many more. Oh, like sweet potato, sweet potato desserts are the best! I’m not kidding, so so good!
Well, these Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars with Amaretto are loaded with fall flavor. A lot of pumpkin, a little almond, and a touch of cinnamon on top of a buttery graham cracker crust and topped with a dollop of whipped cream. Oh, and of course, a whole lot of cream cheese! Even cheesecake haters will love these delightfully easy pumpkin bars! I know because I’m one of them!
Why Make Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars?
I know there are a million pumpkin recipes out there, so you’re wondering why you should choose this one?
Well, first of all, these pumpkin cheesecake bars are easy to make. The prep work is minimal and most of the recipe time is for cooling and chilling. So sure, you have to stick around the house a bit, but there’s no reason you can’t squeeze in a few episodes of Gilmore Girls while you wait for these easy pumpkin bars to set.
Second, I love that these pumpkin cheesecake bars with amaretto are neither overly pumpkiny or creamy cheesy. The amaretto and almond extract help to really balance these two rich flavors. A touch of spices brings it right over the edge into the cozy territory and the whipped cream is a smooth soft finish to what might otherwise be a heavy dessert.
Lastly, as opposed to a traditional cheesecake, these pumpkin cheesecake bars don’t require a water bath and still bake up with a perfectly even top layer (no cracking here), and since they’re made in a 9×13-inch pan, they’re easy enough to slice up and serve at a party!
