Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter room temperature
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1 ½ cups semisweet chocolate chips divided

Cheesecake Layer

  • 1 package 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 egg room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon flour

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line the bottom and sides of a 9-by-9-inch baking pan with foil, leaving an overhang on the ends.
  • Prepare cheesecake layer: In a small bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add 1 egg and flour, and beat until blended; set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
  • With an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar on medium-high speed until smooth; beat in 1 egg and vanilla until combined. Beat in pumpkin puree (mixture may appear curdled). Reduce speed to low, and mix in dry ingredients until just combined. Stir in 1 cup chocolate chips.
  • Spread batter evenly in the prepared pan. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the pumpkin batter. Sprinkle with ½ cup chocolate chips.
  • Bake until the edges begin to pull away from the sides of the pan and the cheesecake is set, about 45 minutes. Cool completely in the pan.
  • Lift bars from the pan (using foil as an aid). Peel off the foil and use a serrated knife to cut into 16 squares.
