0 servings
What you need
1 cup pumpkin puree
8 tbsp unsalted butter
3 egg
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
1 ½ cup unbleached flour
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger
½ tsp allspice
¾ tsp kosher salt
4 oz cream cheese
3 tbsp caramel sauce
Instructions
Make the Caramel Cream Cheese Swirl 1 In a medium-sized mixing bowl, measure out the cream cheese, caramel sauce and the salt. 2 Using a hand mixer, whip the three ingredients together until smooth and well mixed. This should take 1-2 minutes. 3 Set aside. Make the Blondies 1 Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9x9 baking pan with parchment paper, then spray with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside. 2 In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree and the melted butter. Whisk together until smooth. 3 Crack the eggs in a separate bowl, and pour into the bowl. 4 Measure in the sugar. 5 Using the whisk, beat until the ingredients are well incorporated and smooth. 6 In another smaller bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, ginger, allspice and salt. Whisk together until combined. 7 Pour the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet ingredients, stirring carefully with a rubber spatula until all the ingredients are combined. 8 Pour the blondie batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing out with the spatula. 9 In three separate spots, dollop the Caramel Cream Cheese Swirl on top of the blondie batter. Using a butter knife, swirl the mixture into the batter, bringing the knife from one side to the other of the pan until the swirl has been created. 10 Transfer the baking pan into the preheated oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. 11 Remove from the oven and cool slightly before cutting into the blondies. Enjoy!View original recipe
