Pumpkin Cream Cheese Swirl Bars Recipes

PUMPKIN CREAM CHEESE SWIRL BARS

Steps:

• Adjust the oven rack to the lower third position and preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease or line the bottom and sides of a 9×13-inch baking pan with aluminum foil or parchment, leaving an overhang on all sides. Set aside.
• In a large bowl using a hand-held or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter for 1 minute on medium speed until completely smooth and creamy. Add the brown sugar and beat on medium high speed until fluffy and light in color. Beat in egg and vanilla on high speed. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. On medium speed, beat in the pumpkin until combined. The mixture will look curdled; that's ok.
• In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt together until combined. On low speed, slowly mix into the wet ingredients until combined. Do not overmix. The mixture will be thick. Spread 2/3 of the batter evenly into the prepared pan; it will be a relatively thin layer. The rest will be added in step 5.
• In a medium bowl using a hand-held or stand mixer filled with a paddle or whisk attachment, beat the cream cheese for 1 minute on medium speed until completely smooth and creamy. Add the sugar, egg, and vanilla. Beat on high speed until completely combined. Drop random spoonfuls on top of the pumpkin batter.
• Drop the remaining pumpkin batter on top of the spoonfuls of cream cheese. With a rubber spatula or knife, begin gently swirling the two together. Both mixtures are thick, so go slowly. Jiggle the pan back and forth to get the layers to settle into the pan. Don't worry if it looks messy; everything will come together in nice swirls as the bars bake. Sprinkle cinnamon-pepitas on top of the swirled batter.
• Bake the bars for 35-40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. Allow the bars to cool completely at room temperature, then transfer to the refrigerator for about 2 hours before cutting into squares. Leftover bars can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. They're SO good on day 2!

PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE SWIRL BARS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9 x 13-inch (22 x 33 cm) baking dish with nonstick spray. Place a 12-inch (30 cm) sheet of parchment paper in the baking dish crosswise to create a sling.
• In a food processor, pulse the gingersnap cookies until finely ground. Add to a large bowl with the melted butter and mix to combine. The cookie crumbs should look like wet sand.
• Transfer the cookie crumb mixture to the prepared baking dish and press against the bottom in an even layer. Place in the freezer while you make the filing.
• In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar and beat with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until smooth. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, and continue beating until fully combined. Add the flour and mix until just incorporated.
• Transfer 1 cup of the cheesecake batter to a small bowl and set aside.
• To the remaining batter, add the pumpkin purée and pumpkin pie spice. Mix on medium speed until fully incorporated.
• Pour the pumpkin batter over the chilled crust, then dollop the reserved cheesecake batter on top. Using a toothpick, swirl the plain batter into the pumpkin batter to create a marbled effect.
• Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the batter is just set and the center still jiggles slightly. Let cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator to chill for 3 hours before serving.
• Use the parchment paper to lift the bars from the baking dish, then cut into 12 pieces.
• Enjoy!
