Ingredients

• 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter (melted)
• 0.25 cups granulated sugar
• 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
• 1 cups canned pumpkin puree
• 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 0.5 tsp ground nutmeg
• 0.5 tsp ground ginger
• 0.25 tsp salt
• 1 cups whipped cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and line it with parchment paper, letting the edges hang over for easy removal later.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and the mixture resembles wet sand.

Step 3

Press the graham cracker mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust. Use the bottom of a measuring cup or a flat spatula to press it firmly. Set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Add the pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt to the cream cheese. Beat until fully combined and the mixture is smooth.

Step 6

Pour the pumpkin filling over the prepared crust and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the center is set and no longer jiggles when the dish is gently shaken.

Step 8

Remove the dessert from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully chilled.

Step 9

Once chilled, lift the dessert out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 12 bars.

Step 10

Serve as is or topped with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence.
