Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly spray the bottom of a 9"x13" baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.

In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin, coconut evaporated milk, eggs, sugar and pumpkin pie spice. Mix well, then pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the cake mix and coconut Jell-O evenly over the top, and gently pat down with a spoon.

Place the pecans and pretzels in a large zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin to the desired size. Add the coconut flakes to the bag and mix well. Evenly sprinkle this mixture over the cake layer, then drizzle the melted butter evenly on top.

Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Serve warm with vanilla or coconut ice cream for a festive holiday dessert.
