Hawaiian Pumpkin Crunch Recipe

In Hawai’i, no potluck, team banquet, or holiday get together is complete without Pumpkin Crunch at the table. A cross between traditional pumpkin pie and a buttery crumb cake, this sweet treat is especially popular at Thanksgiving and Christmas but enjoyed year-round across the islands.

The buttery crust, whipped cream topping, and velvety pumpkin filling are the inspiration behind our Hawaiian Pumpkin Pie flavored coffee and a nostalgic taste of home for anyone who grew up in the islands. Make Hawaiian Pumpkin Crunch to share with your friends or delight your aunties and uncles at the next family meal. Serve with a hot cup of 100% Kauai Coffee on the side for a double dose of these favorite island flavors. Recipe adapted from How to Make Hawaii-Style Pumpkin Crunch, a local mom’s recipe by Matthew Dekneef, Hawai’i Magazine.
