Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 cup graham cracker crumbs Use finely crushed for a smoother crust.
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted Ensure it's cooled slightly before mixing.
- 2 lb cream cheese, softened Let it come to room temperature for easier blending.
- 1 cup sugar Adjust to taste if you prefer it sweeter.
- 1 cup pumpkin puree Make sure it's pure pumpkin, not pie filling.
- 4 large eggs Room temperature helps with the mixing process.
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract For a delightful aroma and flavor.
- 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice Feel free to add a pinch more for extra flavor.
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until it's well combined. Press this mixture into the bottom of a baking dish to form a crust, then set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the sugar, then mix in the pumpkin puree, eggs, vanilla, and pumpkin pie spice until everything is fully incorporated and silky.
- Pour the creamy pumpkin mixture over the crust in the baking dish. Bake for about 45 minutes or until the center is set and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow the bars to cool completely before slicing them into squares. Enjoy them chilled or at room temperature, perhaps with a dollop of whipped cream on top!
Notes
These bars are perfect for fall gatherings or a cozy night in. Consider serving with some caramel sauce drizzled on top for an extra special treat!
