All of the flavor of a traditional pumpkin pie with all of the spices and just a hint of citrus from the orange extract. The filling firms up enough after cooling a bit that you can cut it into squares to serve. The filling is creamy, and the top of the cobbler is a soft and buttery crumble, just delicious. The recipe doesn't say whether to cool or how to serve. I served it warm with a little whipped cream sprinkled with pumpkin pie spice. Thanks, Holly, thumbs up on this one, it's a keeper, and I wouldn't change a thing!
This is delicious as is, no alterations needed....unless at high altitude then it does need to cook an extra 10-15 min. This is a really rich dessert! This desert is so good and calorie rich that I thought it would be a good idea to share it. WRONG! My husband threatened to leave me for giving all HIS cobbler away. Now making another for him.
I used this recipe for a contest at work and came in first place. My whole family loved it too.
I took this to a dinner party last night. It was such a big hit. When I told my husband I was making a pumpkin cobbler he turned up his nose. On the way home he could not stop talking about how good it was. Thank you for this recipe. Our friends know that when they ask me to bring something I will find something out of the normal everyday offerings.
Sue, no you do not mix the cake mix according to the box. If you did, how would you "sprinkle" it on top. Excellent recipe. My husband doesn't like orange flavored anything, so I used vanilla extract.
Delicious! I used a can of sweetended condensed milk instead of the sugar and milk combo, and added everything else. Simply awesome!
Excellent! I made it exactly to the recipe but I had to bake it for about an hour and 15 minutes (I'm at high altitude) It was SO easy!! I don't think I would change a thing except add some fresh whipped cream on top. I didn't have any on hand because I was just "experimenting" with this recipe. My whole family loved it teenagers 21 year old and adults!
This has been one of my favorites for years. Everyone loves it and i start to crave this in the fall. Really good with pecans on top and for the spice i use Chinese 5 spice a little touch of heat with the sweet.
SO good!!! The first time I made this recipe I had all the ingredients except for the yellow cake mix so I used what I had - a spice cake mix. I did cut back on the spices (because of the similar flavors in the spice cake mix) and it turned fantastic! It was a huge hit at our gathering. The next time I made it exactly as written with the yellow cake mix and it was super yummy too. Love it both ways! Thanks for such a great recipe. Even better with some fresh whipped cream on top!
Under the very top crust was raw powdery cake mix.
