Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars


This cheesecake was so tasty; I just had to make it again. And that I did, so we could share with our friends at work... and savor a few more bites ourselves. :) This is a great dessert to take along to a party or gathering, and your family and friends will love them!

Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars

Servings: 24 bars
Ingredients:
    Graham Cracker Crust:

  •     2 cups graham crackers crumbs (about 13 crackers)
  •     1/4 cup sugar
  •     1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted

    Filling:

  •     3 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
  •     3/4 cup sugar
  •     1 can (15oz) Libby's pumpkin
  •     2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  •     3/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  •     3/4 tsp vanilla extract
  •     2 eggs, lightly beaten
  •     24 walnut halves 


Directions:

Spray a 13in. x 9in. baking dish with cooking spray; set aside.

Seal graham crackers in a large ziploc bag. Using a rolling pin, crush into crumbs. In a small bowl, combine crumbs and sugar. Stir in butter. Press mixture onto the bottom of the prepared dish. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.

Preheat oven to 325°F.

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Beat in pumpkin, flour, pie spice, and vanilla (scraping down sides of the bowl as needed). Add eggs; beat on low speed just until combined. Pour over crust.

Bake 35-45 minutes or until center is almost set. Cool on wire rack for 1 hour. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.

Cut cheesecake into 24 bars; top each with a walnut half.
