Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 3/4 cup butter, room temperature
- 15 ounces pumpkin puree
- 12 ounces evaporated milk
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 4 large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, room temperature butter, powdered sugar, and salt. Cut the butter into the flour using a pastry knife, then mix with hands until it resembles coarse meal. Avoid overmixing.
- Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9" x 13" baking dish and set aside.
- In a blender, combine pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, ginger, cloves, and eggs. Blend on low until combined, then pour the mixture into the prepared dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then reduce to 325°F and bake for another 30-40 minutes until the filling is set in the center.
- After baking, remove from the oven and let it cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing.
- Slice into squares or bars and serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
Notes
For a stronger spice flavor, consider increasing the cinnamon and ginger a bit.
These bars are best enjoyed chilled, allowing the flavors to meld together perfectly.
Top with whipped cream for an extra special touch!
