I have made these many times and every time I am asked for the recipe and how it’s done because it’s just so delicious! This Pumpkin Delight Dessert uses a cake mix for crust and topping and sandwiched in between is a perfectly spiced layer of pumpkin. Adding pecans to the buttery topping brings this dessert over the top!
Whenever fall comes around I cannot help but look for new recipes for pumpkin that I can try and make for my family!
I am so glad I found this delicious and truly heavenly pumpkin recipe. It is so delicious that I have made it about 4 times just this month alone.
Not only that, I have also served these many times already and every time I get asked about the recipe and how it comes out so yummy!
What I love about this is that it’s so easy to make and looks like you made a big fuss but actually didn’t!
What are you waiting for? Make it soon!

Do you really just layer all the ingredients as listed? No pre-baking the crust layer?
thanks

Nope. No need. It’s a long baking time and pre-baking it would overcook the crust. It comes out fine.
