Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a stand mixer, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar on medium speed for about 3 minutes until fluffy.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and mix on low speed until just combined.
  4. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, including flour and salt, until the dough forms a soft consistency.
  5. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking pan and bake for 15 minutes or until the edges are golden-brown.
  6. Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) and whisk together pumpkin puree, heavy cream, eggs, sugars, cornstarch, and spices until smooth.
  7. Pour the pumpkin filling over the crust and bake at 400°F for 15 minutes, then reduce to 350°F and bake for an additional 40 minutes.
  8. Allow the bars to cool in the pan for 45-60 minutes before refrigerating for at least 3 hours.
  9. Slice into squares and serve with whipped cream and a sprinkle of nutmeg.
