Steps:
- 1. Mix first 3 ingredients for crust in a medium bowl. Batter will be thick. Lightly spray 9x13" pan with cooking spray. Press crust into pan until somewhat even.
- 2. Mix remaining ingredients for filling in a large bowl and pour over crust.
- 3. Bake at 350 degrees for approx. 40-45 mins. Dessert will begin to crack and brown. It still may appear jiggly, but will set more as it cools.
- 4. Let cool. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and cut into squares.
Tips:
- Use fresh pumpkin puree for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh puree, you can use canned pumpkin puree, but be sure to drain it well before using.
- Make sure your butter and cream cheese are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help them to cream together smoothly.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the squares tough.
- Bake the squares until they are just set in the center. Overbaking will make them dry.
- Let the squares cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to hold their shape.
Conclusion:
Pumpkin chess squares are a delicious and easy-to-make fall dessert. They are perfect for potlucks, bake sales, or just enjoying at home with your family. With their creamy pumpkin filling and flaky crust, these squares are sure to be a hit.
