Pumpkin Delight Recipe
Instructions
-
For the crust: Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
-
Line a 9x13 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving about 1 inch of paper hanging over the sides.
-
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter. With your fingers, press the crust into the bottom of the prepared pan. Set aside while making the filling.
-
For the Filling: Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachement, beat the cream cheese and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until blended. Spoon half of the mixture over the crust and spread evenly.
-
Add the pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice to the remaining mixture. Beat until smooth. Carefully spoon over the mixture in the pan.
-
Bake for 50 minutes, or until just set. Turn off the oven and leave door ajar, allowing the cheesecake to slowly cool down for about 1 hour.
-
Refrigerate for 3 hours.
-
Cut into bars, top with whipped topping and serve!

With pumpkin and cream cheese, how can you go wrong? I love that this recipe calls for a graham cracker crust instead of a regular flour crust. I think the graham cracker has a rich flavor that makes the pumpkin stand out. The cream cheese just makes the dessert so much richer.
