Martha Stewart’s Pumpkin Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting Are the Quintessential Fall Dessert - SheKnows

The one ingredient that screams "fall"? Pumpkin, of course — and bakers go wild embracing the winter squash, making it the star of a variety of desserts from cakes and cheesecakes to pies. Among them: Martha Stewart, who has created the quintessential — and likely most delicious — fall dessert we've come across yet: pumpkin bars topped with cream cheese frosting.

"In between bars and a crowd-friendly sheet cake is this autumnal dessert," Stewart writes. "The moist and tender pumpkin spice cake is lavished with cream cheese frosting for a fall treat that's simply irresistible."

For Stewart's mouthwatering Pumpkin Bars, you'll make everything from scratch, including the frosting. But before we get baking, you'll need to gather a few essential tools, including an 8-by-12-inch cake pan (where you'll pour your pumpkin batter), an electric mixer (where you'll make your pumpkin bar batter), a wire rack (where you'll cool your cake), and an offset spatula (which you'll use to spread the 1-1/2 cups of icing atop your moist, just-cooled cake).

Now it's time to bake — and good news: Stewart's Pumpkin Bars are surprisingly easy to make.

To start, you'll make your batter, which boasts a symphony of spices, including cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves. Combine those with your pumpkin puree, sugar, bugger, eggs, and more, and pour into your cake pan. Bake for just over half an hour and let it cool. Then, after you've made your frosting (which includes cream cheese, butter, salt, and confectioners' sugar), spread it atop your cake, cut into one dozen bars, and enjoy!

"They're perfect served as individual bars or as a crowd-friendly sheet cake!" Stewart says.

dole whip :: Article Creator Why Frozen Pineapple Is Better Than Fresh When Making Copycat Dole Whip If there's one food that's synonymous with the Disney parks, perhaps even more so than Mickey Mouse-shaped anything, it's probably the Dole Whip. This frozen treat was birthed in a food lab belonging to the Dole Company, and by the mid-'80s, it was being sold at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World. While Dole Whip is available in grocery stores, too, it's more fun to make it yourself for a DIY Disney experience (mouse ears optional). Our Disney Dole Whip copycat recipe calls for just four ingredients: vanilla ice cream, vanilla extract, pineapple juice, and frozen pineapple. It's important to note that the pineapple must be frozen, not fresh. As Mashed recipe developer Susan Olayinka explained, "Fresh pineapple wouldn't work as well here because you need a frozen texture to create the Dole Whip." You can
