Creamy Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake Bars
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 large eggs
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides.
In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter until well combined.
Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
Add the pumpkin puree, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and brown sugar, and beat until well combined.
Mix in the vanilla extract, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating on low speed just until combined.
Pour the cheesecake mixture over the cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the center is set and no longer jiggles.
Allow the cheesecake bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight before slicing and serving.
