Pumpkin cheesecake bars recipe Bake irresistible easy pumpkin dessert Creamy spiced cheesecake bars are perfect fall bakingbakg 140 chars
Total Time:4 hours 55 minutes
Yield:16 servings 1x
Ingredients
Scale
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup granulated sugar
16 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
2 large eggs
1/4 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking pan.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
Add the pumpkin puree and mix until well combined.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in the sour cream, flour, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the cheesecake filling over the pre-baked graham cracker crust.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is just set and the edges are lightly golden brown.
Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake bars cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour. This helps prevent cracking.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely at room temperature.
Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.
Once chilled, cut the cheesecake bars into squares.
Serve cold and enjoy! You can garnish with a dollop of whipped cream, a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice, or a drizzle of caramel sauce, if desired.
