Mmmm...pumpkin. How I love thee. I wanted to try something different this year from the traditional pumpkin recipes I usually steer towards. I highly recommend this!
Ingredients:
1 (15 oz) can fresh pumpkin
1 (12 oz.) can evaporated milk
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 cup sugar
3 eggs, beaten
1 box yellow cake mix
1 cup chopped pecans
2 sticks butter, cut into pieces
Frosting:
1 (8 oz.) pkg. softened cream cheese
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together pumpkin, evaporated milk, cinnamon and sugar until well combined. Add eggs and mix well.
Pour mixture into 9 x 13 baking dish prepared with non stick spray. Sprinkle cake mix evenly over entire top. Sprinkle pecans evenly over cake mix and top with butter pieces.
Bake at 350 for 50 - 60 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Prepare frosting while cake is cooling.
In a large mixing bowl, using a hand mixer, whip cream cheese until light. Add in whipping cream and continue to whip until fully combined and thickened. Add powdered sugar and cinnamon. Whip until smooth.
To serve: Scoop out a slice of the pumpkin crunch and top with a dollop of cream cheese frosting or frost the entire pumpkin crunch.
It is recommended that you cool the crunch before frosting and serving but I delivered some of this to a couple of friends when it was still warm with these instructions; they didn't listen and told me it is great warm too! Ha! Love my friends.

Aw, thanks Nicole for the pin! And the blog traffic. You're the best.
Ed, I did go a little overboard with that topping. I admit I really liked that part. Could you tell? :P
You must be a great cook. *looking a bit jealous* Thank God my youngest son is learning to be a cook, I could never do that. (pumpkins are for decorating over here, not so much for eating, guess that's a big difference) But that looks so delicious!
It looks amazing! I will be trying it out! Huge pumpkin fan, too :)
I love this recipe. It has been ages since I have made it. Thanks for reminding me.
