Mine came out with the crust very dry and just not worth the makeover.

Amazing! Everyone absolutely raved about this cake. Nice twist on the standard gooey butter cake if you like pumpkin. One suggestion, don't press the crust up on the sides of the 9x13 pan, just press flat and then pour filling mixture directly over the top, covering the whole crest. It bakes best this way. Enjoy!!

I used a sugar free yellow cake mix for the "crust" and followed the rest of the recipe to the "t". This turned out wonderful and my family loved it! For those that are diabetic or watching carbs, this isn't going to be an "every day" treat, but this is scaled down from the original that calls for an ENTIRE box of powdered sugar.

I did make this dessert and it was awesome. My boyfriend is a very picky eater and he went on and on about how good it was. I do have to admit that I did not use the reduced fat butter or cream cheese as desserts are a treat for us, not an every day thing. I am going to make this in little tart pans to give for Thanksgiving to the mail-lady, trash guy, mechanic,etc.....with a thank you note.
