Pumpkin Cobbler
Description
This Pumpkin Cobbler recipe starts with pumpkin puree mixed into a sweetened and spiced custard base using pumpkin pie spice, brown and white sugars, eggs, and evaporated milk. The mixture is poured into a prepared baking dish for even cooking. A dry yellow cake mix is broken up and sprinkled evenly on top, followed by optional chopped pecans and melted butter, which melts into the cake mix to create a crisp, golden topping.
The result is a layered dessert with a smooth, custardy pumpkin bottom and a crumbly, slightly nutty top. Baked until the crust is golden and firm, it pairs well with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for serving. Its warmth and comforting spices make it suited for fall or holiday gatherings.
Practical advice includes refrigerating leftovers for 2-3 days and freezing for up to 3 months using airtight containers. Reheating can be done in a microwave or oven. The recipe also suggests letting the dessert stand a couple of hours at room temperature before serving to balance flavors and texture.
Ingredients
- 1 (29-ounce) can pumpkin puree not pie filling
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 (15-ounce) can evaporated milk
- 4 egg lightly beaten
- 1 (15.25-ounce) box yellow cake mix
- ½ cup pecans chopped (optional
- ½ cup butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F and prepare a 9" x 13" dish with cooking spray.
- Mix pumpkin, sugars, and spice in a large bowl. Add beaten eggs and evaporated milk and stir to incorporate.
- Pour pumpkin mixture into the prepared pan.
- Whisk cake mix in a medium bowl to break up any lumps. Sprinkle evenly over the pumpkin.
