Description
No Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars are a delightful fall dessert that captures the flavors of the season without the hassle of baking a traditional cheesecake. These creamy, decadent bars feature a graham cracker crust, a smooth and creamy pumpkin-infused cheesecake filling, and a touch of whipped topping to lighten the texture.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 8 ounce cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped topping
Instructions
1. In a bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 1 tablespoon of sugar until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8×8-inch baking pan. Chill the crust in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to set.
2. Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer, beat the softened cream cheese until it’s smooth and creamy. Add the pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Mix until the filling is well combined and has a creamy texture.
3. Gently fold the whipped topping into the pumpkin cheesecake filling until it’s fully incorporated. Be careful not to overmix to maintain the light and airy texture.
4. Spread the pumpkin cheesecake mixture evenly over the chilled graham cracker crust. Refrigerate the bars for at least 3 hours, or until they’re set.
5. Once the bars are chilled and set, slice them into squares and enjoy!
Notes
Use room temperature cream cheese for a smoother blend.
Chill the crust thoroughly to help it set properly.
Fold in the whipped topping gently to maintain texture.
Refrigerate until set for at least 3 hours.
Consider customizations like chopped pecans or caramel drizzle.
