Description

These Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake Bars are the perfect way to welcome the crisp days of fall. With a buttery graham cracker crust and a beautifully swirled, spiced pumpkin filling, they combine the best parts of classic cheesecake and pumpkin pie into one easy-to-share treat.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup pumpkin purée
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until combined. Press evenly into the prepared pan and compact firmly.
  3. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla, mixing until just combined. Pour half of the batter over the crust.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix pumpkin purée, brown sugar, spices, and flour into the remaining cheesecake batter until fully incorporated.
  5. Spoon pumpkin mixture over the plain cheesecake layer in dollops. Use a butter knife to gently swirl for a marbled effect.
  6. Bake for 40–45 minutes, until the center is just set with a slight wobble. Cool completely on a wire rack, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.

Notes

For clean slices, use a sharp knife dipped in hot water and wiped dry between cuts. To freeze, chill fully, slice, freeze until firm, then wrap individually and store in a freezer-safe container for up to 1 month.
