Rich, creamy pumpkin cheesecake bars atop a gingersnap crust with a dab of whipped cream!
These bars are extremely easy to make and are low in fat with a silky smooth cheesecake texture and rich Autumn spice flavor. If you’re looking for an even healthier alternative, use Splenda instead of sugar.
The delectable gingersnap crust is what really ties it all together though!
