Pumpkin crunch, but make it Disney 🎃✨ Mickey got a little cream cheese frosting makeover, and this fall dessert is almost too cute to eat! Crispy, buttery pecan topping with a soft pumpkin layer underneath.
🎃 Pumpkin Crunch Recipe
Ingredients
* 1 box yellow cake mix (My favorite is Betty Crocker )
* 1 can pumpkin purée (15 oz.)
* 1 can evaporated milk (12 oz.)
* 3 large eggs
* 1 cup sugar
* 1 tsp ground cinnamon
* ½ tsp salt
* 1 cup chopped pecans
* 1 cup butter, melted
Instructions
1. Grease a 9×13-inch pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
2. Whisk pumpkin, evaporated milk, eggs, sugar, cinnamon, and salt until smooth. Pour into the pan.
3. Sprinkle cake mix evenly over the pumpkin mixture, followed by pecans.
4. Drizzle melted butter over the top.
5. Bake at 350°F for 50–55 minutes, until golden. Let cool, loosen the edges, and invert onto a serving platter so the crunchy crust is on top.
🧁 Cream Cheese Frosting
* ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
* 8 oz. brick-style cream cheese, softened
* 1 tsp vanilla extract
* ¼ tsp salt
* 4 cups powdered sugar
Beat butter and cream cheese until smooth. Mix in vanilla and salt, then gradually add powdered sugar until fluffy. Pipe your favorite Disney-inspired design on top!
Save this for your next fall baking day! 🍁
