Total time: 1 hr 35 mins
Ingredients: 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree; 1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk; 1 cup white sugar; 3 eggs; 4 teaspoons ground cinnamon; 1 (18.25 ounce) package butter pecan cake mix; 1.5 cups chopped pecans; 0.75 cup butter, melted

I found this amazing recipe in a grocery store flyer right before Canadian Thanksgiving. While I'm not usually a fan of pumpkin pie (though my family is!), this dessert changed everything. It was a total hit and disappeared in no time, while half the pumpkin pie remained untouched! This praline pumpkin dessert will definitely be a new Thanksgiving tradition at our table. I recommend serving it with a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.

Ingredients

1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
1 cup white sugar
3 eggs eggs
4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 (18.25 ounce) package butter pecan cake mix
1.5 cups chopped pecans
0.75 cup butter, melted

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, sugar, eggs, and cinnamon until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Pour this mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the pumpkin mixture, followed by the chopped pecans. Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top of the cake mix and pecan layer.
Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the center of the dessert comes out clean. This should take approximately 50 to 60 minutes. Let the dessert cool for about 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
