PUMPKIN DESSERT SQUARES

Every year we make a trip to the US to shop and one of my favourite places to shop is the Williams-Sonoma store. This year they were serving samples of this made with their own Pecan Pumpkin Butter and giving away the recipe. Since I can't buy the pumpkin butter here I adapted the recipe to use a butter recipe already on Zaar. Absolutely delicious!

Categories     Dessert

Time 55m

Yield 32 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (18 ounce) box yellow cake mix
1/2 cup butter, melted
3 large eggs
1 1/4 cups pumpkin butter (I used Spicy Pumpkin Butter, takes 10 minutes to make)
1/8 cup milk
1/2 cup pecans, toasted and chopped
1 tablespoon flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup butter, softened

Steps:

  • Measure out one cup of the cake mix and set aside for the topping.
  • Mix remaining cake mix with 1/2 cup melted butter, then mix in 1 egg.
  • Press lightly and evenly into a lightly greased 9 X 13 baking pan.
  • Mix the pumpkin butter with 2 eggs and the milk.
  • Spread pumpkin butter over the cake base evenly.
  • Sprinkle chopped pecans over the pumpkin.
  • Mix the 1 cup reserved cake mix with the flour, sugar and cinnamon.
  • Add softened butter and mix until crumbly.
  • Sprinkle crumbs over the top of the cake.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes, until golden.
  • Note: If you're making your own pumpkin butter let it cool before using in this recipe.
  • Prep and cook times do not include the time to make the pumpkin butter.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pumpkin puree. Fresh pumpkin puree will give your dessert squares a more intense pumpkin flavor. You can make your own pumpkin puree by roasting a pumpkin and then pureeing it in a food processor or blender.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make your dessert squares tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Don't overbake the dessert squares. Overbaking the dessert squares will make them dry. Bake the dessert squares for the amount of time specified in the recipe, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the dessert squares cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • Use a variety of frostings. You can use a simple powdered sugar frosting, a cream cheese frosting, or a chocolate frosting. You can also use a combination of frostings.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin dessert squares are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your pumpkin dessert squares turn out perfect every time. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give pumpkin dessert squares a try. You won't be disappointed!
