Ingredients

• Crust:
• 1.5 Cups crushed graham crackers
• 6 Tablespoons (tbsp) butter, melted
• Latte Layer:
• 8 Ounces (oz) cream cheese, softened
• 1 Large egg, whisked
• 0.25 Cups white sugar
• 0.5 Teaspoons (tsp) espresso powder
• 0.5 Teaspoons (tsp) vanilla extract
• Pumpkin Layer:
• 8 Ounces (oz) cream cheese, softened
• 0.5 Cups canned pumpkin, pureed
• 1 Large egg, whisked
• 0.25 Cups white sugar
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) pumpkin pie spice
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) vanilla extract
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) ground cinnamon

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on both sides for easy removal.
2. In a bowl, mix the crushed graham crackers with melted butter. Press the mixture evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the crust.
3. For the latte layer, beat 8 ounces of softened cream cheese in a bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Add 1 whisked egg, 0.25 cups of sugar, espresso powder, and 0.5 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Beat until the mixture is well blended and smooth. Pour this layer over the graham cracker crust and smooth it with a spatula. Clean the beaters.
4. For the pumpkin layer, beat another 8 ounces of softened cream cheese in a separate bowl until smooth. Add pureed canned pumpkin, 1 whisked egg, 0.25 cups of sugar, pumpkin pie spice, 0.5 teaspoons of vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Beat until the mixture is well blended and smooth. Pour this pumpkin layer over the latte layer and smooth it with a spatula.
5. Bake in the preheated oven until the center is just set, about 40 to 45 minutes. Allow the bars to cool for about 30 minutes. Cover loosely with aluminum foil and refrigerate until firm, about 3 to 4 hours.
6. Once firm, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into bars using a hot, wet knife for clean edges. Serve and enjoy!
