Pumpkin Pie Bars

These bars combine crisp pie crust with creamy, sweet pumpkin and aromatic spices for the most delicious pumpkin bar ever.
Prep Time:15 minutes
Cook Time:55 minutes
Total Time:1 hour 10 minutes
Servings:8 bars

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 9-inch pie crust unbaked
  • 15 ounces pure pumpkin
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger

Instructions

  • Whisk together condensed milk, 1 (15 oz.) can pumpkin, ½ teaspoon salt, 2 large eggs, and spices in a large bowl until smooth and pour into a crust.
  • Bake in a preheated oven at 425 F for around 15 minutes.
  • Decrease the temperature of the oven to 350 F and bake until a knife inserted comes out clean from the center, for a further 35 to 40 minutes.
  • Once done, allow to cool and garnish as needed.
  • Leftovers can be stored in a refrigerator.

Notes

  • Set a timer so you don’t forget to reduce the oven temperature after 15 minutes. Failing to do so could result in a cracked surface.
  • Use plain canned pumpkin for this recipe. Flavored pumpkin pie filling has unwanted additives and flavors that will compromise the taste of this recipe.
  • This dessert is amazing with whipped cream on top, though feel free to get creative with chocolate sauce or candied pecans too!
