Fall is here and that means its time for pumpkin recipes. I love pumpkin flavored anything.

Talk about layering on pumpkin flavors! My Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars recipe is another dessert bar made from one of my vintage recipe project recipes.

I've stocked up on Pumpkin Spice coffee. I've made Pumpkin Spice Coffee Creamer to enjoy with my Pumpkin Spice Coffee. I enjoyed a cup when I ate these Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars.

Dessert Bar Recipes

So far I have made Peach Almond Jam Bars and Peach Pie Bars and now these Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars. The base recipe makes a three layer bar recipe. There is a crunchy nut flour crust layer with a filling layer and it is topped with a cake layer.

The first two recipes started with an almond meal crust. For the Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars, I decided to use a pecan meal crust instead. The flavor of a pecan crust is perfect for a pumpkin cheesecake and is much more of a Fall flavor.
