These bars are similar to our Cheesecake Cranberry Bars, only I swapped out of the cranberry sauce for the pumpkin puree.

I used organic pumpkin for this recipe, which you can find at your local supermarket.  You can use homemade pumpkin puree if you prefer.  

I didn’t have any on hand at the moment, so I decided to buy some canned pure pumpkin this time around.

But right now with all the pumpkins around,  I will definitely have some homemade very soon!

For my Crumbly Cheesecake Pumpkin Bars…

For this recipe, I needed to sweeten the pumpkin, adding in some sugar, some sour cream, and pumpkin pie spice.  

It made a huge difference since the first batch turned out to be a little bland.  And, I  was glad I did that.

The second batch of these cheesecake bars turned out better than I imagined. 

Really good, festive enough to serve your guests if entertaining, and worthy to bring to a Halloween party. 

Speaking of which, do you have any plans for this year’s Halloween? 

We’d love to know!

Crumbly Cheesecake Pumpkin Bars:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice

  • 1/4 tsp. cinnamon

  • 4 Tbsp. sour cream

I'll be pinning this one and I think I found the perfect dessert to take to our friend's home this weekend. Thanks for this one!!
