Ingredients
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 tbsp brown sugar
15 oz pumpkin puree
8 oz cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar
3 large eggs
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 tbsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and two tablespoons brown sugar in a bowl.
Press mixture firmly into the pan and bake for 10 minutes; set aside to cool.
Beat softened cream cheese and 3/4 cup brown sugar until smooth.
Whisk in pumpkin puree, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing until just incorporated.
Pour filling over the pre-baked crust.
Bake for 35 minutes or until set.
Cool completely before slicing into bars.
Notes
Ensure ingredients like eggs and cream cheese are at room temperature for the smoothest filling. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
