Pumpkin Churro Cheesecake Bars
Description
Pumpkin Churro Cheesecake Bars feature a creamy blend of cream cheese, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice tucked between layered crescent roll dough. The dough is formed into flat squares on the top and bottom, pressing seams tightly to create a crust. A cinnamon sugar mixture with pumpkin pie spice is sprinkled over both dough layers to echo churro flavors. Baking at 350°F for 30 to 35 minutes melds the flavors while creating a slightly crisp crust around a smooth pumpkin cheesecake filling. These bars offer a festive dessert with textures ranging from flakey dough edges to velvety center.
