Chocolate Pumpkin Cream Cheese Bars Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sugar, divided
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for a spicy twist)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a 9x9-inch baking dish with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
- Prepare the Chocolate Layer: In a bowl, mix together 1/2 cup sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, cocoa powder, flour, salt, and cayenne pepper. Stir until smooth, then fold in the chocolate chips. Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- Make the Pumpkin Cream Cheese Layer: In a separate bowl, beat together the cream cheese, pumpkin puree, 1/2 cup sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Layer and Swirl: Pour the pumpkin cream cheese mixture over the chocolate layer. Use a knife to gently swirl the two layers together, creating a marbled effect.
- Bake: Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are golden. Let cool completely before slicing into squares.
- Serve and Enjoy: These Chocolate Pumpkin Cream Cheese Bars are best served chilled or at room temperature, and they pair perfectly with a cup of coffee or Mexican hot chocolate!
