Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ cup pumpkin puree
  • ¼ cup sour cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang.
  2. In a small bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, ¼ cup sugar, and melted butter. Press mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  3. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and ¾ cup sugar until smooth.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract and pumpkin pie spice.
  5. In a separate small bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree and sour cream.
  6. Dollop spoonfuls of the pumpkin mixture over the cream cheese mixture in the pan.
  7. Using a knife or skewer, swirl the pumpkin mixture into the cream cheese mixture.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
  9. Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before cutting into bars.

Notes

  • For a stronger spiced flavor, add an extra pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg.
  • Ensure cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature for a smoother batter.
  • For cleaner cuts, chill the bars thoroughly before slicing.
