Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars Recipe 

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking dish with foil and lightly spray it with non-stick spray. Set aside.

Make the Crust:

In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until all crumbs are moist.

Lightly press the crumb mixture into the prepared baking dish to form an even layer.

Make the Cream Cheese Layer:

In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.

Add in the sour cream and sugar, and beat again until combined.

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Mix in the vanilla extract and beat until smooth.

Spoon the cream cheese mixture onto the prepared crust and spread evenly.

Bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until just set. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a cooling rack.

Prepare the Pumpkin Layer:

In a medium saucepan set over medium-low heat, combine pumpkin puree, eggs, brown sugar, granulated sugar, milk, pumpkin spice, and cinnamon.

Cook, whisking every few minutes, for about 10 minutes.

Remove from heat and whisk in the vanilla extract.

Prepare the Gelatin:

In a small saucepan, sprinkle the gelatin over the water and allow it to soften for 5 minutes.

Turn the heat to low and stir to melt the gelatin completely, then remove from heat.

Combine Mixtures:

Add the melted gelatin mixture to the pumpkin mixture and combine until smooth.

Assemble:

Pour the pumpkin mixture over the cooled cream cheese layer in the baking dish.

Place in the refrigerator to chill for several hours or overnight.

Serve:

Once chilled, cut into bars and serve with whipped cream if desired. Enjoy!

Happy Baking!
