1 cup canned pumpkin puree

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter in a mixing bowl. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
02 -
Press mixture evenly into the bottom of a parchment-lined 9x9-inch baking pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes until set. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly.
03 -
Beat softened cream cheese with granulated sugar until creamy and smooth. Scrape the sides of the bowl as needed.
04 -
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Blend in pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and optional flour until fully combined.
05 -
Pour the cheesecake mixture evenly over the cooled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the center is just set.
06 -
Allow bars to cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing. For best results, use a sharp knife wiped clean between cuts.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Ensure cream cheese is fully softened before mixing to achieve a smooth filling texture.
