Gingersnap Crusted Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars

Gingersnap Crusted Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that will impress your guests. These bars are the perfect combination of creamy cheesecake and spicy gingersnap crust, with a hint of pumpkin flavor.

To make these bars, you will need the following ingredients per serving:

- 1/2 cup gingersnap cookie crumbs
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 egg

To start, preheat your oven to 350°F and line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper. In a small bowl, mix together the gingersnap cookie crumbs and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan and bake for 10 minutes.
While the crust is baking, prepare the cheesecake filling. In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth. Add the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and egg, and beat until well combined. Pour the mixture over the baked crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake the bars for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. Let the bars cool to room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.
These Gingersnap Crusted Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars are the perfect fall dessert, with a beautiful orange color and a spicy, sweet flavor. The gingersnap crust adds a crunchy texture that complements the creamy cheesecake filling perfectly. Serve these bars at your next holiday gathering or enjoy them as a special treat at home.
