Four Layer Delight - Pumpkin


One of my all time favorite desserts is Four Layer Delight.  This reminds me of a pumpkin version of that, although very different in layers.  The layers aren't as defined, but trust me, there are four layers of yummy goodness!!  I think this may be a new family favorite.  I made it to celebrate Thanksgiving with my family.

Four Layer Delight - Pumpkin

1 (15 oz.) can pumpkin puree
1 (12 oz.) can evaporated milk
1 c. sugar
1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
3 eggs
1 box yellow cake mix
1 c. chopped nuts (pecans, walnuts, etc.)
3/4 c. butter, cut into pieces
1 (12 oz.) container cool whip
1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened
1/2 c. powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 350.  Mix pumpkin, milk, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and eggs.  Pour into 9x13 baking dish.  Sprinkle cake mix evenly on top.  Do not mix.  Next sprinkle nuts on top of cake mix and dot with butter pieces.  Bake for 1 hour.  Allow to cool completely.  Once cooled, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth.  Stir in cool whip and beat until well incorporated.  Spread on top of cake.  Refrigerate.
