The yearly pumpkin craze is a large phenomenon, so after all I’m gonna give y’all a pumpkin recipe to whet your pumpkiny appetites this month. Make positive you file it away for Thanksgiving time!
My daughter really named this recipe. Technically, it’s a ketofied riff on the traditional Pumpkin Crunch bars, which encompasses a pumpkin custard base on backside, and boxed cake combine plus nuts on prime. With some applicable ingredient swaps it was a reasonably simple dish to recreate in a pleasant format.
Once my girly received a pleasant chew of the completed product, she instantly declared it’s precisely like Pumpkin Pie, however the wrong way up. And she’s received some extent. The custard base is nearly similar to what I exploit in my circle of relatives pie recipe, and with the cakey, nutty crust on prime, it occurred to me that her remark was just about useless on. Hence the title.
