If you're serving a crowd for Thanksgiving, try these squares; they taste just like pumpkin pie, but are easier to make.
These pumpkin squares serve 15 people, and are delicious topped with some brown sugar whipped cream. The squares are very easy to make, with a simple crumb crust, and a straightforward filling made from pumpkin, eggs, brown sugar, and honey. You can make this dessert the day before; store it covered at room temperature. Top it with some of the whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce, or with some chopped pecans or cashews. Pumpkin Squares
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a small bowl, combine 1 cup flour, oatmeal, pecans, butter, and 1/4 cup brown sugar and mix until crumbly. Press into a 13x9" pan and bake for 8 minutes; set aside. In large bowl, combine pumpkin, eggs, half and half, honey, 1 cup brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, cardamom and 2 teaspoons vanilla and mix well until smooth. Pour over crust. Return to oven and bake for 55-65 minutes or until filling is set and firm when touched. Cool on wire rack. When ready to serve, in small cold bowl combine cream, brown sugar, and vanilla and beat until stiff peaks form. Cut pumpkin squares into serving size pieces and top each with a dollop of the sweetened whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel ice cream topping. Serves 15 Baking and Desserts Recipe Box
