Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons strong brewed coffee, cooled
  • Optional: Whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the crust.
  3. Bake the crust for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let it cool while you prepare the filling.
  4. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and 3/4 cup granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
  5. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  6. Stir in the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract until just combined.
  7. Gently fold in the cooled brewed coffee.
  8. Pour the cream cheese mixture evenly over the baked crust.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is mostly set but still slightly jiggly.
  10. Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  11. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
  12. Lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares.
  13. Serve chilled, with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.

Notes

  • Ensure your cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth filling.
  • Do not overmix the batter once the eggs are added to prevent cracking.
  • For a stronger coffee flavor, you can add a teaspoon of instant espresso powder to the filling.
