I’ve raved before about pumpkin, but I’m going to do it again here. You can use pumpkin all year long in both desserts and savory recipes too. It’s not just all about the pumpkin pie, you know? I have a good stash of canned pumpkin purée in my pantry at all times. My family loves my famous Pumpkin Bread recipe, and I’m kind of partial to my Pumpkin Chili and Pumpkin Cornbread! These No Bake Pumpkin Shortbread Bars are a must-try dessert.
Today I’m showing you how to make a dessert that won’t let you stop at just one piece (or if you do then you’ll go to bed dreaming about it and will immediately want a piece in the morning for breakfast!)
How to make No Bake Pumpkin Shortbread Bars:
The crust is made up simply of shortbread cookie crumbs, sugar and butter. It’s pressed into your pan and then chilled until firm. No baking needed! Next there’s a majorly delicious creamy pumpkin mixture spread on top. Then the whipped topping is added… and more shortbread cookie crumbs!
After you’ve given this dessert a chance to set up in the refrigerator for a couple of hours, it’s ready for cutting and serving.
Behold the creamy goodness! See how delicious an easy pumpkin dessert can be? I have you craving pumpkin now, don’t I?
COOL PUMPKIN FACTS:
Pumpkins grow from seed to harvest in just six months. You can store pumpkin purée in a re-sealable container in the fridge for up to one week- it’s great to keep on hand for daily smoothies! And it will keep in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months in your freezer. You can replace half the butter or margarine in your baking recipes with pumpkin purée to cut the fat.
So take a bite of these No Bake Pumpkin Shortbread Bars, then take another… and then use all the willpower in the world to wait until the next day to have a second piece. Enjoy no-baking and eating pumpkin things all summer long!
