Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 2 cans refrigerated crescent rolls or dough sheets
Churro Topping Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 5 teaspoons of milk
Kitchen Supplies Used:
- Stand mixer (we bought a refurbished KitchenAid and got it for practically half price!)
- 9 x 13″ baking dish
- Non-slip mixing bowls
How to Make Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars with Churro Topping
First, preheat the oven to 375°F degrees and prepare 9×13″ baking pan with nonstick spray.
Using a stand mixer or electric hand mixer, cream together the softened cream cheese and sugar until fluffy. Then add in your pumpkin, egg, and spices. Continue mixing until you have a smooth batter.
Now it’s time to layer your pumpkin cheesecake bars:
- Unroll one can of crescent dough and press into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
- Pour the pumpkin cheesecake batter on top of the dough in the pan.
- Unroll the second can of crescent dough and gently place on top of your pumpkin cheesecake. You may need to stretch the dough slightly to reach the sides of the pan and cover all of the batter.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle on top of the dough.
Once layered, place pan in oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Test with a toothpick to make sure it’s done.
After baking, remove pan from oven and place it on a wire rack too cool for one hour, then refrigerate until completely chilled.
Whisk together the powdered sugar and milk, then drizzle over top of the chilled pumpkin cheesecake bars.
How to Store Your Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars
Store your pumpkin cheesecake bars in airtight container in the refrigerator. They should keep for at least 2-3 days.
