Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl mix flour, melted butter, and sugar until crumbly to form the crust.
  3. Press the crust mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  4. Bake the crust for 10 minutes then remove from the oven.
  5. In another bowl whisk pumpkin puree, eggs, brown sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla.
  6. Add cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt and whisk until smooth.
  7. Pour the pumpkin mixture evenly over the baked crust.
  8. Bake for 30–35 minutes until the filling is set in the center.
  9. Allow bars to cool completely before refrigerating for about 1 hour.
  10. Lift from the pan, slice into squares, and serve.

Notes

Use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, for the best flavor.
Let the bars chill before slicing, so they hold their shape.
Add whipped cream or powdered sugar for extra sweetness.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
