Creamy Pumpkin Crisp
My best friend Pat gave me this recipe several years ago. It is a little different from a traditional pumpkin pie, but it is oh so good.
Honestly, can you ever go wrong with pumpkin and cream cheese anything??? This year my stepdaughter requested this instead of any kind of birthday cake, it is her absolute favorite.

The basis of Creamy Pumpkin Crisp begins with the usual suspects found in traditional pumpkin pie filling, no big surprises there. Now the next layer is where some of the magic happens. A boxed cake mix is sprinkled over the pumpkin layer, it adds a wonderful texture. And the final baked layer is crushed nuts with a generous drizzle of butter completing the layers.

Once it has cooled completely you have two options. You can either leave it in the pan and frost over the nut layer (frosting may look lumpier) or you can flip the entire dessert onto a baking sheet and frost just the top of the dessert after removing the parchment paper. The top will now be the pumpkin portion and it will look as it does in the pictures you see here.

I prefer flipping it out onto a baking sheet, it is simply a preference. Hope you enjoy! This pumpkin dessert has become a family favorite here and I'm betting it will at your house too!

Use walnuts or pecans.
Duncan Hines makes a Golden Butter cake mix.
I sprinkled the top of finished dessert with ground Nutmeg.
Refrigerate any leftovers.
