The Caramel Pumpkin Bars You’ll Make Every Fall | Claire Saffitz
Claire Saffitz makes Caramel Pumpkin Bars, a rich, deeply autumnal dessert that combines a buttery shortbread crust with a smooth pumpkin caramel filling and a cool, tangy crème fraîche or mascarpone topping. The caramel adds depth to the pumpkin filling without overwhelming the warm, familiar flavors you want from a fall dessert, while the crisp crust gives every bite a little contrast. Baked in an 8x8 pan and easy to slice and share, these pumpkin bars are perfect for Thanksgiving, holiday baking, or anytime you want a pumpkin dessert that goes beyond the usual pumpkin pie.
