Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ tsp fine sea salt
  • 1 (15-oz) can pumpkin puree
  • 3 large eggs
  • ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp ground ginger
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp ground cloves
  • ½ tsp fine sea salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment. Mix flour, sugar, and salt, add melted butter, and press into pan. Bake crust 15 minutes.
  2. Whisk eggs and brown sugar, then whisk in pumpkin, cream, spices, salt, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Pour filling over crust, tap pan lightly, and bake 40 to 45 minutes until edges are set and center jiggles softly.
  4. Cool at room temperature 1 hour, then chill at least 2 hours. Lift out, slice, and serve.

Notes

The bars need to chill until firm before slicing, so plan for that time outside of the bake. If your brown sugar is lumpy, rub it between your fingers to break up the clumps before whisking.
