Equipment

Ingredients
  

Crust

  • 1 ½ cups Graham Cracker Crumbs
  • 3 tablespoons Granulated White Sugar
  • 6 tablespoons Butter melted

Filling

  • 16 ounces Cream Cheese room temperature
  • ½ cup Brown Sugar
  • ¼ cup Granulated White Sugar
  • 3 tablespoons Sour Cream
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • ⅔ cup Libby's Canned Pumpkin Purée
  • 1¾ teaspoons Pumpkin Pie Spice
  • 2 Large Eggs

Cinnamon Whipped Cream

  • 1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 4 tablespoons Powdered Sugar
  • ½ teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • ¼ teaspoon Ground Cinnamon

Instructions
 

Crust

  • Preheat the oven to 350℉. Line an 8"x8" or 9"x9" square baking dish with deep sides with parchment paper. Let the parchment paper hang over two of the sides for easy lifting later.
  • Blend graham crackers in a food processor until they are fine crumbs.
  • Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. It should be a sand-like consistency. Press it onto the parchment paper in the bottom of the square baking dish.

Filling

  • In an electric mixer, add cream cheese, sour cream, and both sugars. Beat until smooth. Add vanilla, pumpkin purée, and pumpkin spice. Add eggs and mix; do not overbeat the eggs. Pour the cheesecake batter on top of the crust.
  • Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes until the center is set.

Cinnamon Whipping Cream

  • Whip together heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon in an electric mixer with a whisk attachment or a medium-sized bowl with a hand mixer over low speed. Gradually increase speed to high and continue whipping until it forms stiff peaks.
  • You can add a dollop of cinnamon whipped cream to each slice or use an icing bag with a star tip and zig-zag the whipped cream back and forth as shown in the photos above. If you don't want the whole bar to have topping, I recommend making only a half batch of whipped topping.
