Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
For the Pumpkin Cheesecake Filling
  • 16 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree not pumpkin pie filling
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar sifted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 1/2 cups whipped topping such as Cool Whip

Method
 

  1. Line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
  2. In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until evenly combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
  4. Add pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix until fully incorporated.
  5. Gently fold in the whipped topping until the filling is light and creamy.
  6. Spread the pumpkin cheesecake filling evenly over the crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until firm.
  8. Once set, lift the cheesecake out using parchment paper overhang. Slice into bars and serve chilled.

Notes

For best results, chill overnight. You can also top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon before serving.
