Pumpkin Pecan Pie Squares

I recently found this great recipe, then played with it and adapted it to create a healthier dessert! It is very tasty!! Simple and sweet – and just a little nutty (which are some of the exact characteristics I strive for in my life). ;)

I love the crust part the best. But I also love the filling the best. The topping was also very, very good. And of course, I always love the fresh whipped cream the best. Oh, such a great combination of lots of yummy tastes. Try it for yourself and see which part you like best!

I was trying to go for a dollop of whipped cream…
but I can’t quite do a dollop.
Anybody out there good at a dollop?
(I think it’s fun to say the word dollop.)

If you recall, I don’t usually like recipes with nuts in them. I surprised myself by liking the pecan topping.

See? Everyone likes to be nutty every now and then…
