Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz canned pumpkin puree
- 12 oz evaporated milk
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 15.25 oz yellow cake mix
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup whipped cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, eggs, sugar, and pumpkin pie spice. Whisk until smooth and well blended.
Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the pumpkin mixture, ensuring it covers the entire surface.
Melt the unsalted butter and drizzle it evenly over the cake mix layer.
Scatter the chopped pecans evenly across the top for an added crunchy texture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set.
Allow the pumpkin crunch to cool completely at room temperature before serving. This helps the layers set properly.
Cut into squares and serve with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
