Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Canned pumpkin puree
- 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
- 3 large Eggs
- 1.5 teaspoons Pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Pecans, chopped
- 0.5 cups Light brown sugar
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
In a medium bowl, mix together the flour and granulated sugar for the crust.
Stir in the melted butter until the mixture forms a crumbly dough. Press evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Bake the crust for 12-15 minutes, or until golden and set. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
Add the pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Mix until fully combined and creamy.
Pour the pumpkin mixture over the cooled crust and spread evenly.
In another bowl, combine the chopped pecans, brown sugar, and cold cubed butter. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, mix until crumbly.
Sprinkle the pecan mixture evenly over the pumpkin filling.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the topping is golden and crisp.
Allow the squares to cool completely in the pan before slicing into 16 pieces.
Serve at room temperature or chilled. Enjoy your Pumpkin Pecan Squares!
