Number of Servings:
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cups - crushed chocolate graham crackers
- 4 tablespoons - unsalted butter melted
- 2 packages - 8 oz. cream cheese softened
- 1 cups - granulated sugar
- 3/4 cups - pumpkin puree not pie filling!
- 2 teaspoons - pure vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons - all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons - pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 teaspoons - salt
- 2 - large eggs slightly beaten
- - whipped cream
- - ground cloves
- - caramel sauce
Directions:
For Crust:
Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a food processor or blender, crush crackers until fine. Add melted butter and process until combined. Press crust into bottom of prepared pan. Bake in the oven for 7 minutes.
For Filling:
In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese for 30 seconds until creamy. Add sugar and mix well. Add pumpkin and mix well. Add vanilla, flour, pumpkin pie spice and salt. Mix well.
Add eggs and mix just until incorporated. Do not overmix. Pour the filling over the baked crust. Tap the pan against the counter to release the air and get rid of air bubbles on the surface.
Bake the cheesecake for 35 to 38 minutes. Remove from oven and let sit in room temperature until completely cool. Refrigerate for at least 2 to 4 hours (the longer the better).
Remove cheesecake from the pan. Slice and serve. Refrigerate any leftovers for up to 2 days in an air-tight container.
Topping: If desired, top bars with whipped cream, a dash of ground cloves and a drizzle of caramel sauce.
