Ingredients
For the Crust:
1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
¼ cup granulated sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For the Filling:
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
½ cup granulated sugar
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup heavy cream
Optional Topping:
Whipped cream
Cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and ¼ cup sugar. Pour in the melted butter and stir until combined.
Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of an 8×8 inch baking pan lined with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let it cool completely.
Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and ½ cup sugar until smooth.
Add the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin cream cheese mixture until no streaks remain.
Pour the filling over the cooled crust and spread evenly.
Chill the bars in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
Cut into bars and serve. Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired.
