Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Stir until it resembles wet sand. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then allow to cool.
- In a clean bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, heavy cream, eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice until smooth. Pour over the cooled crust, spreading evenly.
- In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese until creamy, then mix in egg yolk, additional sugar, and a splash of vanilla extract. Mix until smooth. Dollop this mixture on top of pumpkin layer and swirl with a knife.
- Place in the oven and bake for approximately 40 minutes, until the edges are set and center jiggles slightly. Watch to avoid overbaking.
- Cool at room temperature for about 2 hours, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before slicing.
- Slice the chilled bars into squares. Serve cold or at room temperature, optionally topped with whipped cream and cinnamon.
