– ½ cup granulated sugar
– ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
– 2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened

– ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
– ¼ teaspoon salt


Instructions

Creating delicious Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars is a simple process. Just follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
2. Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until well combined.
3. Press the Crust: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and press down firmly to form an even layer. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
4. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
5. Add Pumpkin and Sugar: Add the pumpkin puree and powdered sugar to the cream cheese. Beat until fully incorporated.
6. Incorporate Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition until just combined.
7. Flavor the Mixture: Mix in the vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt, ensuring everything is well combined.
8. Pour Over the Crust: Carefully pour the pumpkin cheesecake filling over the pre-baked crust, smoothing it out with a spatula.
9. Bake: Return to the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center has only a slight jiggle.
10. Cool: Remove from the oven and let cool at room temperature for at least 2 hours. For best results, refrigerate for several hours or overnight before cutting into squares.
11. Slice and Serve: Cut into bars and serve chilled or at room temperature.
