These pumpkin cheesecake bars are such a delicious fall dessert! Creamy pumpkin cheesecake filling that has a salty chocolate pretzel crust is absolutely delicious. Sweet, salty and tastes like autumn!
I’m here to introduce you to the pumpkin chocolate combo!
These pumpkin cheesecake bars are a delicious dessert that you can make for Thanksgiving. Creamy pumpkin cheesecake on top of a salty chocolate crust? Sweet, salty, crunchy, creamy, all topped with a fresh whipped cream cloud?
Sign me up.
First, this pretzel crust in sunshine has become my whole personality. Butter, salty, pretzels, chocolate!
Could eat that with a spoon.
Here’s how I feel about dessert on Thanksgiving: I want a bite (or three) of pumpkin treats. Like a pumpkin cheesecake bite or pumpkin pie, maybe even a pumpkin roll.
But what I really want? Chocolate.
There is something so wonderful about having a chocolate dessert after a Thanksgiving meal, when you expect pumpkin but don’t necessarily want any more harvest flavors.
That’s my stance and I’m standing by it!
So combining pumpkin and chocolate is what I LOVE to do. And it’s not a new thing. I’ve made a chocolate bottomed pumpkin pie and these gooey pumpkin bars are just delish. Both have chocolate and made me fall in love with the combo!
On the holiday, we have a big dessert spread and it’s one of my favorite parts of the celebration. All sorts of treats so everyone can have a little tasting plate! It’s fabulous.
This dessert is one that you need to prepare ahead of time, which makes it easier on you. You can make this a day or two ahead of time (even up to three days!), and it needs about six hours to chill in the fridge. While that time is required so the bars can set up, it’s all hands-off time! Make it, throw it in the fridge and forget it.
At least until it’s time to eat.
Cheesecake is my #1 dessert, so pumpkin cheesecake is very, very high up there. I love how tangy and creamy cheesecake is.
This is very easy and pretty much foolproof, as long as you don’t over beat the filling mixture. (more…)
