Seems I’m not the only one with pumpkin on the brain at this time of year. As I’ve done some bloggy browsing over the last few weeks, various delectable versions of this dessert keep popping up. You may have seen it before, but let me entice you one last time before Thanksgiving with this variation of THE Pumpkin Dessert shared with me by my sister-in-law.
THE Pumpkin Dessert
- 15 oz. can pumpkin
- 1 can evaporated milk
- 3 eggs
- 1 c. sugar
- 4 t. Pampered Chef Cinnamon Plus (or 2 tsp. cinnamon and 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice)
- 1 yellow cake mix
- 3/4 c. butter
- 1 1/2 c. chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
Combine first 5 ingredients. Pour in a greased 9×13 pan. Crumble yellow cake mix on top. Melt butter; pour evenly over all. Sprinkle with nuts. Bake 1 hour at 350 degrees. Serve with whipped topping.
I happened to have some whipping cream left over from my Chocolate Chip Cheesecake… freshly whipped whipping cream = a big YUM!

This is exactly the same recipe (except ours calls for pumkin pie spice, and a few variations of measurements) that I made Saturday, a family favorite. We call ours Pumpkin Pie Crunch! We serve it with cool whip on top.
Blessings,

What if I don’t have the Pampered Chef cinnamon Plus? Do I just use cinnamon? I don’t even know anyone who sells Pampered Chef. We live in a small town.

Sandra, just use 2 tsp. cinnamon and 2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice. That should work fine!

Can you substitute something for the nuts, or just leave them out altogether? I don’t have any nuts, and don’t really care for them. Thanks!

@Alex, I’d just leave them out. It will still be delicious!

Amy…What is the consistency of this dessert?? I made it last night for my husband to take to work today. After I let it cool, I needed to sample it…didn’t want to send an untested recipe to work without trying it…besides it smelled soooo good, I just had to try it. When I sampled it, the consistency of the pumpkin/cake part was very runny. I thought it would be more cake like, so I reheated the oven & cooked it for another 30 minutes. By this time it was after midnight & I needed to go to bed. This morning when I checked it, it seemed better, but I was still leary of sending it with my husband, but I did. Hopefully it turned out okay…eek! What are your thoughts on this?? Thanks…Erin

@Erin Blair, Hmmmm, that doesn’t sound right. It is soft, but not runny at all. I could probably cut it into squares to serve if I wanted to, but we just use a big serving spoon. That’s odd that you had to cook it so long!
