Ingredients:
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 2 cups cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Whipped cream and cinnamon for garnish (optional)
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
- For the Crust:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press this mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
- For the Cheesecake Layer:
- In a separate mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Pour the cream cheese mixture over the graham cracker crust.
- For the Pumpkin Layer:
- In another mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice.
- Carefully spread the pumpkin mixture over the cream cheese layer.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes or until the edges are set, and the center is slightly jiggly.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully chilled.
- Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the cheesecake out of the pan. Cut into bite-sized squares.
- Garnish with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
