I always cook for Thanksgiving and Christmas, and I wanted to make something different this year. In college, I worked at a restaurant that made this pumpkin pie with a whipped pumpkin layer on top. It was my favorite seasonal pie, it wasn’t offered year-round so I couldn’t wait for them to start making it again.

Well, I decided I would try to make a similar dessert and came up with this amazing layered chiffon pumpkin pie recipe and cut it into bars. A layer of graham cracker pecan crust, then pumpkin pie, add a layer of chiffon, and then the pecans. OH, MY.

Make the graham cracker crust

Get started with your pumpkin chiffon bars by preheating your over to 400 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine the graham crackers, butter, brown sugar, and 1/2 cup of pecans and mix well. Press the graham cracker crust mixture into the bottom of a 13 x 9 baking dish and bake for 12-15 minutes.

We hope you love this pumpkin pie dessert

I love how these pumpkin chiffon pie bars turned out, my family thinks they are delicious! We cut them into 12 bars, they were pretty big so you could always cut into 16 or 20 smaller bars and reduce the serving size.

Here’s to Life, Love, and the pursuit of PUMPKIN pie!

Try these amazing pumpkin bars at home! The chiffon topping gives a lighter pumpkin flavor and I think they are a good way to ease non-pumpkin eaters into trying a pumpkin dessert for the first time. I will definitely be making them again for a Thanksgiving dessert. It’s such an easy pumpkin pie recipe!
