Time 3h

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 14

¾ cup graham cracker crumbs
⅓ cup white sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
¾ cup white sugar
2 large eggs
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
¾ cup white sugar, divided
½ cup milk
3 large eggs, separated, divided
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
¼ cup cold water
1 (.25 ounce) envelope unflavored gelatin

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Mix cracker crumbs and sugar for crust together in a bowl. Stir in melted butter until combined. Pat into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Combine cream cheese, sugar, and eggs for cream cheese layer in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Pour over crust.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until filling is set and no longer jiggles, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool, about 30 minutes.
  • While the crust and cream cheese layer are cooling, combine pumpkin puree, 1/2 cup sugar, milk, egg yolks, cinnamon, and salt for pumpkin layer in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until thick, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • Pour water into a small saucepan over low heat. Sprinkle gelatin over top and stir until just dissolved. Stir into the pumpkin mixture and set aside to cool.
  • Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until foamy. Gradually add remaining 1/4 cup sugar, continuing to beat until stiff and glassy. Fold into the pumpkin mixture. Pour over the cooled cream cheese layer and chill in the refrigerator until firm, about 2 hours. Cut into 24 bars.

These pumpkin bars were a complete disaster! The crust was burnt and the filling was raw. I will never make this recipe again.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pumpkin bars didn't turn out very well. The crust was too crumbly and the filling was too runny.

The instructions for these pumpkin bars were a little confusing, but I was able to figure it out. The bars turned out great, though!

These pumpkin bars were a little dry, but they were still tasty. I think I would add a little more moisture to the filling next time.

The crust on these pumpkin bars was a little too thick for my taste, but the filling was delicious. I would try using a thinner crust next time.

These pumpkin bars were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar in the filling next time.
