Hi, I'm Danelle and this is where I dish about my favorite recipes. I focus on simple, family friendly fare and try to make feeding the family a little bit easier for everyone.
Ingredients
Crust:
1 (18.25 oz) package yellow cake mix
1 egg
8 tablespoons butter, melted
Filling:
1 (15 oz.) can of pumpkin
1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese, softened
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
8 tablespoons butter, melted
2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. To make the crust, combine the cake mix, egg and 8 tablespoons of melted butter and mix well. Pat the mixture into a lightly greased 9x13-inch baking pan. Prepare the filling by beating the cream cheese and pumpkin until smooth. Add the eggs, vanilla, and butter and mix together. Stir in the powdered sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Spread the pumpkin mixture evenly over the crust. Bake for 40-45 minutes. Do not over bake, as the center should be a little gooey.
Let's Dish
This is a quick and easy pumpkin dessert, and my whole family loved it. Even my husband, who doesn't typically like pumpkin desserts. I think it would be even better with a made-from-scratch shortbread crust, and I'm going to try that next time. I liked this chilled, and once it's cold, you can eat it with your hands, like a brownie. This is a great alternative to pumpkin pie, especially if you are serving a crowd.
Who Dished It Up First
This is a Paula Deen recipe that I found over at Baked Perfection.
