Description

These Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake Bars combine the creamy richness of cheesecake with the cozy flavors of pumpkin spice, all on a buttery graham cracker crust. Perfect for fall gatherings or as a seasonal indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (200g) graham crackers, finely crushed
  • 1/2 cup (113g) melted butter
  • 3 tablespoons (37g) sugar
  • 24 ounces (680g) cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 1 cup (200g) sugar
  • 1/2 cup (120g) pumpkin puree
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice (or custom spice blend)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy lifting later.
  2. In a food processor, pulse 2 cups (200g) of graham crackers until finely crushed. Combine with 1/2 cup (113g) melted butter and 3 tablespoons (37g) sugar. Mix until evenly moistened.
  3. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool. Reduce oven temperature to 300°F (149°C).
  4. In a large mixing bowl, beat 24 ounces (680g) of cream cheese at room temperature until smooth. Add 1 cup (200g) sugar and 1/2 cup (120g) pumpkin puree, mixing until creamy.
  5. Add 2 large eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice (or your custom spice blend).
  6. Pour the filling over the cooled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours (overnight is better).
  8. Lift the bars out using the parchment paper and slice into squares. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Notes

For best results, use room temperature ingredients to prevent lumps in the batter. Cool the bars gradually to avoid cracks, and use a sharp knife for clean slices.
