Serve these rich, creamy bars with a hot cup of mulled cider for a perfect holiday treat. Bake and refrigerate for up to three days before serving.



Ingredients

  • 1 sprays cooking spray
  • 9 whole reduced-fat cinnamon graham crackers
  • 3 Tbsp butter
  • 16 oz fat-free cream cheese
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 cup fat-free sour cream
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 3 large egg(s)
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin

NOTE: in replace of seperate spices use 1 1/2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice.


Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325ºF. Coat a 9 X 13-inch baking pan with cooking spray or line bottom of pan with parchment paper. Alternatively, you can use a 9 X 13-inch nonstick pan.


  • Grind graham crackers until fine in a food processor or place crackers in a resealable plastic bag and crush with rolling pin. Place crumbs in a small bowl.


  • Melt butter on stove top or in microwave and pour over graham cracker crumbs. Mix with a fork until completely moistened.


  • Press crumbs evenly into bottom of prepared pan and place in refrigerator while preparing pumpkin filling.


  • Place cream cheese in bowl of a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Add sugar and mix until incorporated.


  • Mix in 1 cup of sour cream until just combined and then add cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and cloves. Add remaining sour cream and mix until just combined.


  • Slowly beat in each egg one at a time until incorporated, and then mix in pumpkin. (Note: For best results, all ingredients should be at room temperature and mixed as little as possible, until each ingredient is just combined.)


  • Pour pumpkin mixture into prepared pan, spread evenly throughout and smooth top.


  • Bake until set at edges, about 30 minutes. (Note: The very center will be a little loose.) Cool completely and refrigerate overnight before cutting into 18 pieces and serving.

    ENJOY!!!
