Pumpkin Gooey Bar

December 1, 2010 By Lokness 3 Comments

This is a really good and easy pumpkin dessert. Instead of having pumpkin pie, this is an excellent choice. I love the soft crust on the bottom, and the mixture is so delicious and gooey. Bryan loves this absolutely! I have made this many times, and it was a success every time. Just make sure not to overbake. If the center jiggle a little, that is normal.

 

Pumpkin Gooey Bar (Adapted from Paula Deen)

10 – 14 servings

Ingredients:

Crust:

–   1 (18 1/4-ounce) package yellow cake mix

–   1 egg

–   8 tablespoons butter (melted)

Filling:

–   1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese (softened)

–   1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin

–   3 large eggs

–   1 teaspoon vanilla extract

–   8 tablespoons butter (melted)

–   1 ¾ – 2 ½ cups powdered sugar

–   1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

–   ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350˚F.
  2. For the crust, combine the cake mix, egg, and butter and mix well with an electric mixer. Pat the mixture into the bottom of a lightly greased 13 x 9 inches baking pan. Make sure the baking pan bottom is well covered.
  3. For the filling, beat the cream cheese and pumpkin until smooth in a large bowl. Add the eggs, vanilla, and butter, and beat together. Add cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add 1 ¾ cup powdered sugar, and taste. If you like the mixture sweeter, you can add more sugar to your own taste. Mix well.
  4. Spread the pumpkin mixture over the cake batter and bake for 40 – 50 minutes. Make sure not to overbake as the center should be a little gooey.
  5. Cut the pumpkin gooey into bars or squares. Sprinkle the top with powdered sugar. Serve at room temperature.
  6. For storage, the bar can be left out on the table counter with a loose cover for 3 – 4 days.

Have you been to @trejostacos? Other than amazing Have you been to @trejostacos? Other than amazing tacos, we love their cheesy bean dip. This is my copycat version of that dip. Looks ordinary, but layers with flavors! Creamy, savory, cheesy, little sweet & little citrusy. Give me a bowl of this dip & a bag of tortilla chips, I’ll be happy for a long time! Also, this dip can be made ahead. Just reheat & serve when ready.

Eton Mess w/ Strawberry, Mandarin Orange & Lemon. Eton Mess w/ Strawberry, Mandarin Orange & Lemon. Crunchy meringue cookies, fresh strawberries, sweet whipped cream, & my homemade tangy mandarin-orange lemon curd from last week. You can make most of these components ahead of time, just macerate the strawberries & whip the cream at the last minute. This is the spring dessert I want every year from now on! 🌸

Guys, this Mandarin Orange-Lemon Curd is so damn G Guys, this Mandarin Orange-Lemon Curd is so damn GOOD! You need this in your life!🍊🍋 First, you get the taste of Mandarin oranges. Sweet & floral. Then you get a little tanginess from the lemon. It’s creamy & smooth. I can almost eat this on its own, but I probably shouldn’t.😆 Put this on cupcakes, macarons, pavlova, yogurt, pancakes or anything you want. Best thing is that it only takes 15 mins to make!

Posted this Portuguese Baked Creamy Coconut Chicke Posted this Portuguese Baked Creamy Coconut Chicken recipe 10 years ago. Update with some new pictures and directions today. Just as delicious as back in the days! Although this is called a “Portuguese” dish, it’s actually invented in Macau. It’s now a common family dish in Macau & Hong Kong. Creamy, hearty, little sweet & not spicy! Perfect comfort food for weeknights!

On this day one year ago, California was officiall On this day one year ago, California was officially placed in lockdown. Offices, schools and shops were closed; restaurants only allowed takeout; shelves were empty at grocery stores. It was a scary time and still is today.  Oh, we were so naive thinking the lockdown was going to be for a short time!🤦🏻‍♀️

But good news is that there is hope in sight! Bryan & I were chatting w/ friends that this could be over in 2 or 3 months, max (SARS in Hong Kong lasted for about 2 months in 2003).

Infection numbers are down. Vaccines are here. I’m hoping that we’ll get our Fauci Ouchie soon. Dining out, traveling & hanging out with friends sound like the BEST things in 2021!

Hope you’re all healthy & hanging in there. My heart is with those who’re still recovering and have lost a loved one. You’re not forgotten.💕💕💕
It’s Friday junor! Time for a cocktail. This Bur It’s Friday junor! Time for a cocktail. This Burnt Mandarin Orange Gin & Tonic is an easy twist from a classic. How to make burnt oranges? Just sprinkle some sugar & torch with a blow torch. It’s just like making creme brûlée. That adds a really nice layer of flavors to the cocktail!
