It’s pumpkin time! I love these pumpkin recipes I’ve been seeing lately. I just can’t seem to choose what I should bake first, they’re all awesome. This cheesecake bar looks like a favorite! 😉

Thanks for sharing this awesome recipe! I just finished making 2 batches, and they are chilling in the refrigerator as I type. I can’t wait to eat a piece and share the rest with my co-workers!
One thing I wanted to share: I don’t know if my cheesecake ended up thicker than the recipe intended, but I ended up having to boost my oven temp to 350 and baking them (one at a time) for 45-55 minutes each. 30 minutes at 325 on the first batch left me with a soupy cheesecake. I used a 9×13 pan. I’m thinking they may have spent too much time in the freezer — I was studying while making this recipe, and lost track of time!

How long should you freeze this before adding the pumpkin cheesecake on top?
