Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300°F.
- Line baking pan with parchment paper- leaving about 1 inch of paper hanging on the sides.
- In a bowl, combine the cracker crumbs with the butter.
- Press the crust to the bottom of the prepared pan. Set aside.
- In another bowl, place the cream cheese and sugar.
- Beat on low speed until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs- one at a time.
- Drop half the mixture over the cracker crust and spread evenly.
- To remaining cheese mixture, add pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice.
- Whisk until smooth. Gently spoon into the pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 50 minutes.
- Turn off the oven and leave the door slightly open- allowing the cheesecake to slowly cool down for about 1 hour or so.
- Refrigerate for at least 3 hours before cutting into bars.
- Top with whipped cream and a dust of pumpkin pie spice before serving.
