How to Make Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars

Step-by-Step

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium bowl, combine flour and brown sugar.
Cut in butter with a pastry blender (or 2 forks) until mixture is crumbly.
Press evenly into a 9x13 baking pan lined with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Bake 15 minutes or until lightly browned.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese with 3/4 cup sugar in an electric mixer at medium speed until smooth.
Add pumpkin and then add eggs, 1 at a time, and vanilla and pumpkin spice. Stir to combine. Pour over warm crust.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until filling is set. Cool. Once cooled down cut into squares. Serve with whipped cream.
