Ingredients
Crust
- 10 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 2 cups Graham cracker crumbs about 14 graham cracker sheets, crushed
- ⅓ cup light brown sugar
Filling
- 24 ounces cream cheese softened, do not use reduced-fat
- 1 ¼ cups pumpkin puree
- ¾ cup light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 ¼ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
Whipped Cream
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream cold
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
Instructions
To Make The Crust
- Preheat the oven to 300°F and line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper, allowing the excess to come up and over the sides of the pan.
- In a medium bowl, combine melted butter, graham crumbs, and sugar, mixing until well combined.
- Press the crust evenly into the prepared pan with your hands or the bottom of a measuring cup.
- Bake the crust for 12 minutes.
To Make The Filling
- While the crust is baking, add the cream cheese to a large bowl or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment and beat on medium speed until smooth.
- Add the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, flour, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla. Beat on medium-high for about 1 minute until fully combined, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating just until combined after each addition.
- Pour the filling over the baked crust and return to the oven for 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool for 2 hours, then transfer to the fridge to cool for at least another 2 hours or overnight.
- When ready to serve, make and top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar or chopped pecans.
Whipped Cream
- Add cold cream and vanilla to a medium bowl.
- Beat on low speed for about 2 minutes or until foamy.
- Increase the speed to medium and add the sugar a little bit at a time, scraping the bowl as needed. Continue beating until soft peaks form. Do not overbeat.
Notes
- Use room-temperature cream cheese and eggs for a smooth, lump-free cheesecake layer.Let the bars chill in the refrigerator to set completely before slicing to ensure clean cuts and perfect layers.
- 2 tablespoons of Amaretto Liqueur and ½ teaspoon of almond extract can be added to the filling if desired.
