Upside-Down Pumpkin Pecan Pie

An upside down caramel macchiato is just the shots on top of the vanilla rather than on top of the milk.

Recipe Summary Upside-Down Pumpkin Pecan Pie

This pie is a different twist on the normal pumpkin pie. It is served upside down with a homemade caramel sauce and vanilla-flavored whipped cream. Garnish with pecan halves. I never have any leftovers when I bring this places.

Ingredients | Starbucks Caramel Macchiato Upside Down

cooking spray

2 (15 ounce) cans pumpkin puree

1 cup white sugar

⅔ cup evaporated milk

3 eggs

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon salt

1 (18.25 ounce) box yellow cake mix

1 cup butter, melted

1 ½ cups coarsely chopped pecans

1 cup butter

2 cups packed brown sugar

1 cup heavy whipping cream

2 cups heavy whipping cream

1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar

1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line bottoms and sides of two 9-inch pie pans with waxed paper. Spray with cooking spray.

Combine pumpkin puree, white sugar, and evaporated milk in a large bowl. Add eggs, cinnamon, and salt; beat with an electric mixer until batter is smooth.

Pour batter into prepared pans. Sprinkle yellow cake mix on top. Drizzle 1 cup melted butter over cake mix. Sprinkle pecans on top; press lightly into butter.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 50 to 60 minutes. Remove pans from the oven and let pies cool, about 2 hours.

Run a knife around the edges of the pans to loosen pies; invert onto serving plates. Peel off waxed paper. Place pies in the refrigerator.

Melt 1 cup butter in a saucepan over low heat. Add brown sugar and 1 cup heavy cream; cook and stir until sugar is dissolved, 3 to 5 minutes. Simmer caramel sauce until smooth, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.

Beat 2 cups heavy cream in a chilled glass or metal bowl with an electric mixer until foamy. Add confectioners' sugar and vanilla gradually, beating until soft peaks form.

Slice chilled pies into wedges. Drizzle caramel sauce over wedges; top with a dollop of whipped cream.

Substitute margarine for the butter if desired.

If making ahead, chill caramel sauce until ready to serve and reheat before serving.
