• CREAM CHEESE FILLING:
• 6 Tbs. unsalted butter, melted
• 1 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 15 oz. can pumpkin
• 1/4 cup water
• 2 cup flour
• 2 tsp. cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp. cloves
• 1/2 tsp. ginger
• 1/2 tsp. nutmeg
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1 tsp. baking soda

• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 tsp. vanilla
• 1 large egg

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350*. Spray 9x13 pan with cooking spray.

With mixer on medium speed beat butter and 1 1/2 cup sugar until smooth. Beat in 2 eggs, pumpkin, 1 tsp. vanilla and water until well blended.

In a separate bowl, mix flour, spices, baking powder, baking soda; add the dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture and combine until well blended.

Spread 2/3 of the batter evenly into the pan. In a bowl with an electric mixture beat cream cheese, 1 egg, 1/4 cup sugar and vanilla until smooth.

Spread cream cheese mixture evenly over the pumpkin batter. Dollop the remaining pumpkin batter over the cream cheese batter and spread out as evenly as possible. Use a table knife to swirl together the cream cheese and the top layer of pumpkin batter.

Bake 30-35 minutes or until the center of the pumpkin batter springs back when touched, cool completely in pan, then cut into bars.
