Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1-2 tablespoons milk
  • Optional: Whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides
  2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then let cool
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and 3/4 cup granulated sugar until smooth and creamy
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition
  5. Stir in the vanilla extract
  6. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice. Add this to the cream cheese mixture and beat until just combined
  7. Gently fold in the cooled brewed coffee
  8. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the baked crust. Spread evenly
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly
  10. Let the cheesecake bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Then, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight
  11. To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and 1-2 tablespoons of milk until smooth. Add more milk if needed to reach desired drizzling consistency
  12. Once chilled, lift the cheesecake bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Drizzle with the glaze. Cut into bars
  13. Serve chilled. Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired

Notes

  • Ensure your cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth filling
  • Do not overmix the batter after adding the eggs
  • Chilling is crucial for the bars to set properly
  • The coffee can be omitted if you prefer a less intense flavor
