Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9 x 13-inch (22 x 33 cm) baking dish with nonstick spray. Place a 12-inch (30 cm) sheet of parchment paper in the baking dish crosswise to create a sling.
- In a food processor, pulse the gingersnap cookies until finely ground. Add to a large bowl with the melted butter and mix to combine. The cookie crumbs should look like wet sand.
- Transfer the cookie crumb mixture to the prepared baking dish and press against the bottom in an even layer. Place in the freezer while you make the filing.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar and beat with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until smooth. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, and continue beating until fully combined. Add the flour and mix until just incorporated.
- Transfer 1 cup of the cheesecake batter to a small bowl and set aside.
- To the remaining batter, add the pumpkin purée and pumpkin pie spice. Mix on medium speed until fully incorporated.
- Pour the pumpkin batter over the chilled crust, then dollop the reserved cheesecake batter on top. Using a toothpick, swirl the plain batter into the pumpkin batter to create a marbled effect.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the batter is just set and the center still jiggles slightly. Let cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator to chill for 3 hours before serving.
- Use the parchment paper to lift the bars from the baking dish, then cut into 12 pieces.
- Enjoy!
