This recipe was inspired by a sweet potato version that I got from a patient. Their version does have nuts, however, I'm not a big nut fan so I left them out. The brown sugar topping provides a nice crunch once baked. This is the perfect recipe for your Thanksgiving dessert!
This is a unique recipe that gives a similar flavor to a pumpkin pie but with a different texture.
Ingredients
You'll find several of the same ingredients as pumpkin pie, however, the texture of this dessert is completely different. Instead of baking up like a custard pie filling, the pumpkin mixture stays soft and fluffy.
- Pumpkin puree
- Sugar
- Eggs
- Vanilla
- Melted Butter
- Evaporated Milk
- Salt
- Cinnamon
- Pumpkin Pie Spice
- Brown Sugar
- Flour
See recipe card for quantities.
Instructions
- Step 1: Mix together, pumpkin puree, sugar, eggs, vanilla, butter, evaporated milk, salt, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice until combined.
- Step 2: Mix together flour, brown sugar, and softened butter to create the topping
- Step 3: Pour pumpkin mixture into a greased 9 x 13 baking dish and cover with topping mixture
- Step 4: Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes. Serve warm or cold.
Hint: This can be eaten plain but I like topping mine with homemade whipped cream!
Substitutions
If you want a more traditional pumpkin pie flavor you can change the spices to your liking.
- Traditional Pumpkin Pie Spices- 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon of ground ginger, and ¼ teaspoon of ground cloves
Variations
As previously mentioned, the recipe I was inspired by did originally contain nuts. If you are a fan of nuts you can add 1 cup of chopped pecans to the topping before baking.
Equipment
- Mixing Bowls
- Electric Hand Mixer
- Spatula
- Fork
- Baking Dish (I like to use a disposable one)

Storage
Store in an airtight container like this one in the refrigerator. If you've used a disposable pan, just pop on the lid and store that in the refrigerator.
Top Tip
Baking in a disposable foil pan makes this dessert easy to travel with. Bonus, you can leave the leftovers with your host!
