Step 1

Preheat oven to 325F (165C). Line a 9 x 9 (23cm) brownie pan with 2 cut sheets of parchment paper laid down in opposite directions. Set aside.

Step 2

Place gingersnaps in a food processor, pulse until crumbs form. Then add butter, pulse until combined. Transfer crumbs to prepared pan. Tamp down the crumbs to a single, compacted layer and bake at 325F for 8-9 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Step 3

In the bowl of a stand mixer (or hand mixer) combine the cream cheese, and sugar, beat until smooth. Add the sour cream, beat to combine. Add eggs, one at a time, beating in between each addition. Add salt and vanilla extract, and beat to combine. Add flour, and beat until just combined. Set aside.

Step 4

Whisk together the pumpkin, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla and salt. Then add 1/4 cup (60 ml) of the cream cheese mixture to the pumpkin mixture, whisk to combine.

Step 5

Pour the cream cheese mixture into the prepared pan, smoothing out with a spatula. Then dollop pumpkin filling with a small spoon or mini cookie scoop, all over the top, around 16 dollops spaced 1/2 inch apart, and run a skewer through the pumpkin dots vertically and horizontally, until a swirled pattern forms.

Step 6

Bake 35-40 mins allow to cool. Refrigerate overnight, uncovered, and then slice into 9 squares. Wipe off the knife after each slice, to create clean cuts.
