Pumpkin Pecan Cheesecake Bars

Print Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • Crust
  • 2 cups crushed graham crackers
  • ½ cup crushed pecans
  • ½ cup butter
  • Bars
  • 3- 8 ounce packages of cream cheese
  • 1- 32 ounce can of pumpkin
  • 1 cup of sugar
  • ¼ cup flour
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 2 teaspoons of cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla
  • Whole pecans for the top

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350` F.
  • Mix together the ingredients for the crust with a fork in a medium size bowl.
  • When all the crust ingredients are well mixed, pour the mixture into a 9x13 pan and press evenly onto the bottom of the pan.
  • Mix together the ingredients for the bars, and blend with a mixer until all the ingredients are incorporated into a smooth mixture. It’s OK if you still see some flecks of cream cheese, and some darker flecks of spice.
  • Pour the bar mixture on top of the crust in the 9x13 pan.
  • Put the bars in the oven and bake for about 1 hour. If the top starts to get too dark, cover the cheesecake with a piece of aluminum foil.
  • Once the cheesecake has baked, let it cool for a few minutes on the counter. Cover with plastic and put the warm cheesecake in the refrigerator for several hours to chill and set.
  • Cut the cheesecake into individual bar servings, topping each bar with a whole pecan.
