"Pumpkin bars with cream cheese frosting are the ultimate fall treat"
   It's Fall! It's Diwali! you guys it's my all-time favorite season because of the colors, fun, and fabulous eats and I'm so thrilled to share this recipe with everyone.

 Though, away from home is pretty much make you ridiculously nostalgic for all of your favorite comfort food and especially Diwali sweets. I'm really fond of amazing Indian sweets especially 'KAJU KATLI'.

Since I moved to France it's not easy to get all those delicacies, so this year I have made some special pumpkin bars with cream cheese frosting. Guys, believe me, it's so so good! The specialty of these bars is pumpkin spice which makes them extra delicious and once the bars are topped with a generous spread of cream cheese is MAGICAL!



These are the best bars that I have ever made so far. These bars with an amazing spiced pumpkin flavor are super moist and tangy with lemon frosting.

I've tried some amazing pumpkin recipes like pumpkin soup, pumpkin bread, muffins, parathas, etc. all of which have been delicious but one of my absolute favorite is pumpkin bars with cream cheese.


Let's celebrate this Diwali with these cute pumpkin bars.
