These pumpkin bars should be kept in the fridge until they are gone or for up to 4 days. These bars freeze well. In fact, if you wanted to make them ahead of time and freeze them up to a month.

Key Tools I Used

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350
Mix all of the ingredients for the crust in a blender or bowl.
Use a rubber spatula to press the crust down into the square pan
Cook crust for 5 minutes and remove it from the oven
Mix cheesecake layer by adding all of the ingredients to a stand mixer
Add the cheesecake layer to the pre-cooked crust & cook this layer for 8 minutes
Mix all of the ingredients for the pumpkin pie layer
Add it to the top of the cheesecake layer
Cook for an additional 35-40 minutes. You want the center of the cheesecake to be jiggly.
Allow the dessert to cool. Refrigerate it for at least 4 hours.
Recipe Notes
You should make this dessert ahead of time & serve it cold. I usually make this the night before a holiday like Thanksgiving.
If you’d like to add variations to this recipe, then you can swap the crust with a low carb cake mix. You’d simply prepare the cake mix according to the package directions, then top it with the cheesecake and pumpkin pie layers.
I cooked the cheesecake layer for a few minutes before adding the pumpkin pie layer. This helped me to get a layered look. You can skip this step if you wish.
