Preparation
Step 1 Preheat oven to 325°. Grease an 8"-x-8" pan with cooking spray. Make crust: In a medium bowl, combine crushed Oreos with melted butter, sugar, and salt. Press in an even layer into bottom of prepared pan.Step 2Make filling: In a large bowl using a hand mixer, beat cream cheese, pumpkin puree, and sugar together until no lumps remain. Add egg and egg yolks, then stir in vanilla. Add pumpkin spice and salt and beat until just combined. Pour mixture over crust. Step 3Place baking pan in a large roasting pan and pour in enough boiling water to come halfway up your baking pan. Bake until only slightly jiggly, about 50 minutes. Turn off oven and prop oven door open slightly. Let cool in oven 1 hour. Remove pan from water and refrigerate until firm, 2 hours, or up to overnight. Step 4When ready to serve, slice into bars. Sprinkle with an even layer of sugar and carefully use a kitchen torch torch sugar until lightly golden and caramelized.
