Ingredients

• 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar (for cheesecake layer)
• 3 units large eggs
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 15 ounces pure pumpkin puree
• 0.5 cups light brown sugar, packed
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
• 0.5 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy lifting.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 3 tablespoons granulated sugar. Mix until evenly moistened. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust. Bake for 8 minutes, then set aside to cool.

Step 3

In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and 3/4 cup granulated sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.

Step 4

Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract. Reserve 1 cup of this mixture and set aside for the pumpkin layer.

Step 5

Spread the remaining cheesecake mixture evenly over the baked crust.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, light brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt. Stir in the reserved 1 cup of cheesecake mixture until smooth and fully blended.

Step 7

Gently spoon the pumpkin mixture over the cheesecake layer and spread it into an even layer.

Step 8

Bake the bars in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, or until the center is set and doesn’t jiggle when gently shaken.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until fully chilled and firm.

Step 10

Lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into 12 even bars and serve chilled or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
