Gluten Free Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars

by - November 09, 2018

Combing pumpkin and cheesecake has to be just about the best thing in the world.  I am a huge fan of pumpkin and I love cheesecake so what is better than putting them together.  I think pumpkin makes just about anything better and this dessert is no exception.  Thanksgiving and Christmas is coming up and coming up with ideas on what to make can be overwhelming.  Going over to people's houses to celebrate holiday's that are surrounded by food can be difficult.  There can be frustration and sadness when you see all the good things that you cannot eat. Take the stress out of it by making your own dessert and bring it with you so that you can share how good gluten free can be.

This dessert is perfect to bring to share with a lot of people.  It is easy to make and so good to eat.  The buttery, crunchy crust and crumble top pairs perfectly with the silky smooth cheesecake.  The textures and taste go great together and everyone will be coming back for seconds.  You won't feel left out of anything when you are eating this yummy dessert with confidence because you know it will be safe for you.  Figuring out how to have great holidays can be hard but these recipes make it a little bit easier.
I had some pumpkins come up in my garden this year so I roasted my own and created my own pumpkin puree.  Because of that, the color of the pumpkin puree is a bit lighter than canned pumpkin.  If you use canned pumpkin, the layers of pumpkin and regular cheesecake will be a bit more defined.  It looks really great to see those beautiful layers of the cheesecake bars.
Don't skip the dessert this Thanksgiving and do yourself a favor by making yourself and your family a delicious pumpkin dessert.  Make sure to go to my YouTube channel for more great recipes and product reviews. Also, check out the video down below to see exactly how I made this amazing dessert.
