Pumpkin Cheesecake Crumble Squares image

This recipe comes from Bon Apetite's 50th Anniversary Issue. The recipe looks kinda long, but it's very simple and the results are fabulous. I usually share my desert with folks at work, but not these...I kept them all to myself. Please try them! You won't be disappointed! (cook time does not include 2 hour chill time)

These squares were a bit too rich for my taste, but they were still good.

I added a dollop of whipped cream to each square before serving. It was the perfect finishing touch!

The crumble topping was a bit dry, but the rest of the square was delicious.

The pumpkin cheesecake crumble squares were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still enjoyable. I think I'll try reducing the sugar next time.

I'm not usually a fan of pumpkin desserts, but these squares changed my mind. The cheesecake filling was smooth and rich, the pumpkin layer was perfectly spiced, and the crumble topping added a delightful crunch. I'll definitely be making these again

These pumpkin cheesecake crumble squares were a hit at my Thanksgiving gathering! The combination of the creamy cheesecake filling, the sweet pumpkin layer, and the crunchy pecan crumble topping was divine. I received rave reviews from all my guests.
