- 3 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 15 oz can Pure Pumpkin Puree
- 3 Large Eggs
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Cinnamon

- 2 8 oz packages Full-Fat Cream Cheese
- 1/2 cup Sugar for Cheesecake Layer
- 2 large Eggs for Cheesecake Layer
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
Mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the mixture into a lined 9x13 inch baking pan and bake for 10 minutes.
Let the crust cool while you prepare the fillings.
In a bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, sugar, cream, and spices until smooth.
In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until fluffy, then add sugar and beat until combined.
Add eggs to the cream cheese mixture one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then add vanilla.
Pour the pumpkin mixture over the crust and spread it evenly.
Dollop spoonfuls of the cheesecake mixture on top of the pumpkin layer.
Swirl the two layers together with a knife in a figure-eight pattern.
Bake for 45 to 55 minutes until the edges are set but the center jiggles slightly.
Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the bars sit in the oven for 15 minutes.
Let them cool at room temperature for an hour.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before cutting.
