SF Pumpkin CHeesecake Bars
I got a ton of emails asking for the reciepe, so I figured it would be best to just make a post. Sorry it's taken me so long, things have just been CRAZY!
The bars themselves:
16 oz SF Pound cake mix OR crumbs of SF cookies or SF graham crackers (this is the crust)
2 TBSP melter butter
(1) 8 oz pkg cream cheese, softened
(1) 16 oz can pumpkin
1/2 tsp salt
3 eggs
4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
14 oz sweetend condensed milk ( I make my own from splenda, ill post that reciepe too)
1 C chopped nuts (optional)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In large bowl on low, combine cake mix, 1 egg, butter, 2 teaspoons pumpkin spice, until crumbly. Press onto bottom of 15 x 10 inch jelly roll pan. Set aside. In large bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Gradually beat in condensed milk, then remaining 2 eggs, 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice and salt. Mix well. Pour over crust and sprinkle with nuts on top. Bake 30-35 minutes or until set. Cut into bars. Store in refrigerator.
Makes 48 bars.
SF Sweetened condensed milk:
1 1/3 cup Nonfat dry milk powder
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup splenda
In glass measuring cup stir together milk powder & water till it's a paste. Cover and microwave on high for 45 seconds or until hot but not boiling.
Stir in Splenda.
Cover and store in fridge. Chill at least 2 hrs before using.
Keeps for 2 weeks and makes 12 oz.
The bar recipe calls for 14 oz milk, and my recipe for the milk only makes 12 oz, i normally just thrown 2 oz regular milk or water in the bar mix to compensate.
enjoy!
