Pumpkin Streusel Cheesecake Squares
Pumpkin streusel cheesecake squares combine all my favorite dessert indulgences into one bite. Luscious cheesecake filling, a sweet and salty graham cracker crust and buttery streusel topping are the building blocks of the dessert, and a drizzle of my go-to cheater’s caramel sauce (optional) is drizzled over once the squares have cooled completely.
