Servings 16
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons butter melted
- 10 graham crackers crushed
- 4 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 4 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 15 oz pumpkin puree
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- whipped cream
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press onto the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray.
- Bake at 325° for 10-12 minutes or until set. Cool on a wire rack.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Beat in eggs, one at a time, just until blended. Add the sugar and vanilla, beat on low speed until mixture is smooth.
- Spread half of the cheesecake batter into the cooled baking dish, smoothing the top, and set aside.
- Add the pumpkin purée and pumpkin pie spice to the remaining filling and whisk until smooth and combined. Carefully spread pumpkin mixture over plain cheesecake mixture into an even layer.
- Bake at 325° until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly, 40 to 50 minutes.
- Place the dish on a wire rack and cool completely, 2 to 3 hours. Cover with aluminum foil and refrigerate at least 3 hours or overnight.
- Cut into bars, garnish with whipped cream and pumpkin pie spice if desired.
