Missy's Notes:

This is my cousin's recipe. She makes this every year for Thanksgiving. It is so YUMMY!

Please note: Allow to cool so it sets before you flip.

Comments from the Test Kitchen:

This recipe won the GRAND PRIZE in the Just A Pinch Family Holiday Traditions Recipe Contest!

With a subtle pumpkin flavor, this lovely dessert avoids overwhelming the palette with loads of holiday spices. Instead, each bite melts in your mouth, allowing you to slowly savor its comforting creaminess. The crunch of the nut "crisp" is equally delicate, making this one family-friendly treat that would be right at home on any holiday dessert table or brunch buffet!

Directions

Mix together the pumpkin, milk, sugar, cinnamon and eggs.

Pour mixture into 9x13x2 pan lined with wax paper. (This keeps the dessert from sticking to the pan.)

Crumble dry cake mix over pumpkin mixture. Sprinkle with crumbled nuts, then pour melted butter
over the top.

Bake at 350 for 50-60 minutes. Turn upside down onto a platter and remove wax paper. Allow to cool thoroughly. When cooled, cover with topping mixture and refrigerate.

Congratulations Missy...I am so happy for you...I have a question...could I use fresh whip cream instead of cool whip...I am not a big fan of cool whip. Thanks.

Thank you Jane. I am SO EXCITED, this is so wonderful. And you are correct, the Just A Pinch crew is wonderful to work with.

Thank you Elin.

Thank you Marie. I do not see why you could not, just make sure you have it whipped enough to stand up. Also you could use more cream cheese, that would work too.

Thank you Jan. I have to admit spending my time in the kitchen with my Aunt and Grandma was the BEST. I am truly BLESSED with a wonderful family:) I hope you are able to make it to the showcase.
