Pumpkin Pie Squares Recipe for Larger Gatherings
Pumpkin Pie Squares Recipe for Larger Gatherings
"Pumpkin pie squares are an excellent holiday dessert option for larger crowds. Where a traditional pumpkin pie can serve about six people, this pumpkin slab is cut into at least twenty-four slices. It's up to you how you cut the servings of this pumpkin pie slab. Our family is a big fan of pumpkin squares that my Aunt Linda makes every year. Her recipe is more like a cake, though. With the cream cheese frosting, some people even think it tastes a little like carrot cake. They are one of my all-time favorite desserts. True pumpkin pie fans will most likely prefer this slab recipe. I personally think the more pumpkin desserts, the better. Break me off a little piece of all the treats, please."
NotesThe pretty little dollop of whipped cream in the photos is just for show. Trust me; my slice will have a lot more whipped cream than that. If it's homemade whipped cream, triple down on that.

Do you use large eggs for your recipe, or would a medium work? I love the idea of having pumpkin squares for dessert because you can serve more people if you have a few extra guests or plus ones show up to a holiday party. I think your idea is fantastic!
