Pumpkin Pecan Cheesecake Bars
What’s better than a fall-flavored pumpkin pecan cheesecake? Pumpkin pecan cheesecake bars that you can eat with your hands, of course! Our pumpkin pecan cheesecake bars, inspired by Rasa Malaysia, give you all the creamy, dreamy lusciousness of a fork-friendly slice of pumpkin cheesecake, but with the finger-food ability to eat without a plate.
These deeply satisfying dessert bars deliver melt-in-your-mouth bites of spiced pumpkin filling on top of a brown sugar shortbread-style crust studded with pecans. They are so good, you’ll want to make pumpkin cheesecake bars all autumn long. Take them to the upcoming fall harvest parties, football game get-togethers, and holiday gatherings with family and friends. Bake an extra batch to tuck them into your kiddo’s school lunch bag or bring a big batch to treat the whole class.
Not only are these pumpkin pecan cheesecake bars delicious, they are remarkably easy to make. Start by pressing the crust—a simple combination of flour, brown sugar, butter, and pecans—into the bottom of a baking dish and bake until lightly browned. While the crust is cooling, whip together the cheesecake filling and pour over the crust. The cheesecake filling is a scrumptious mixture of softened cream cheese, coconut sugar, pumpkin puree, eggs, vanilla, and fall spices. Slide the baking dish in the oven and bake for an additional 30 minutes or until golden brown. The hardest part of making this dessert is having to wait for it to cool before taking your first bite.
Cook’s note: Coconut sugar is a wildly popular alternative sweetener that has taken the baking world by storm. This succulent sweetener is made from the nectar of coconut blossoms, which is boiled and ground into a granular substance with the texture of brown sugar. From a nutritional standpoint, coconut sugar reigns supreme over refined sugar because it has a lower glycemic index and a more complex flavor. However, keep in mind that coconut sugar is still sugar and should be consumed in moderation. If you don’t have coconut sugar in your pantry, you can swap in brown sugar for this pumpkin pecan cheesecake bar recipe.

Pecan Dream Caramel Pumpkin Cheesecake
This just might be the best cheesecake I’ve ever made. Light and fluffy pumpkin spiced goodness! PLUS, it is made from pumpkin purée I made from our great pumpkin harvest last weekend. ????
Sadly I had a Saturday brain fog so technical difficulties ran amok (plug in the microphone DOH!) but it’s still a good “how to” even if it sounds a little tinny for the first 5 minutes.
