Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.  
  • Mist a 9x9-inch baking pan with non-stick spray and line with parchment.
  • Place the ground pecans, melted butter, sugar, egg white, and salt in a medium bowl and toss together with a fork to combine.  
  • Press the mixture in an even layer over the bottom of the prepared pan.
  • Place the cream cheese, brown sugar, and cornstarch in a large mixing bowl and beat on medium speed until smooth and creamy.  
  • Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl with a silicone spatula, and stir in the pumpkin.  
  • Stir in the eggs, one at a time, scraping the bottom and sides of the bowl with a silicone spatula after each addition.  
  • Stir in the cream, cinnamon, vanilla, ginger, and cloves, and transfer the mixture to the prepared pan.
  • Bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees F, then reduce the oven temperature to 250 degrees F and continue to bake for one hour, or until set around the edges and still slightly jiggly towards the center.  
  • Chill overnight before cutting into squares.

Notes

Optional: drizzle with salted caramel sauce, garnish with sweetened whipped cream, and dust with cinnamon.
