  • 5 oz. evaporated milk

1. Preheat oven to 350 F
2. Lightly grease a deep baking / casserole dish

* Note that you can make ahead up to this point.  Refrigerate baked pumpkin up until 1 hour before you’d like to serve it.  Just add the topping and pop into warm oven for 20 minutes.
6. Mix together the remaining ingredients, and sprinkle over the top of the baked pumpkin.  Cook 5 – 10 minutes longer.
