Equipment

  • 9x9-inch baking dish
  • mixing bowl
  • electric mixer
  • Spatula
  • plastic wrap

Ingredients

For the Crust

  • 1 cup Graham Cracker Crumbs Gluten-free option available
  • ½ cup Unsalted Butter Melted
  • ¼ cup Granulated Sugar Can be replaced with brown sugar

For the Filling

  • 16 oz Cream Cheese Room temperature, low-fat option available
  • 1 cup Canned Pumpkin Puree Pure puree with no additives
  • ½ cup Powdered Sugar Can reduce for less sweetness
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Pure extract preferred

For the Spices

  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon Freshly ground is best
  • ¼ teaspoon Ground Nutmeg Just a little enhances flavor
  • ¼ teaspoon Ground Ginger Fresh ginger for bolder flavor

For the Whipped Cream

  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Can also use Cool Whip

Instructions

Preparation

  • Prepare the crust: In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a lined 9x9-inch baking dish. Chill for 30 minutes to set.
  • Make the filling: Beat softened cream cheese in a bowl until smooth and creamy. Slowly mix in the canned pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger) until well combined.
  • Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture, ensuring it stays light and fluffy.
  • Combine: Pour the velvety pumpkin cheesecake filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula for an even surface.
  • Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight until the bars are fully set and firm.
  • Serve: Carefully lift the set dessert from the pan using the parchment paper, cut into squares, and serve chilled for the best experience.

Notes

Garnish with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon before serving for added flavor!
