Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Line an 8-inch (20 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 20 g sugar.

  3. 3

    Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 8 minutes, then cool for 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Beat the cream cheese and 130 g sugar until smooth. Avoid excessive beating, which incorporates unnecessary air.

  5. 5

    Mix in the pumpkin purée, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt.

  6. 6

    Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed just until incorporated.

  7. 7

    Pour the filling over the crust and smooth the surface.

  8. 8

    Bake for 35–40 minutes, until the edges are set but the center still has a slight wobble.

  9. 9

    Cool in the pan for 1 hour, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.

  10. 10

    1. Cut into 12 bars and serve chilled.
