Pumpkin Trifle

I love my trifle bowl! I think it is so pretty when everything is layered together.....and I love anything pumpkin. So when I saw this recipe I knew I had to try it! I made it for Thanksgiving and everyone loved it.

Ingredients:

2 to 3 cups leftover crumbled unfrosted spice cake, muffins or gingerbread

2-1/2 cups cold milk

1 can (15 ounces) solid-pack pumpkin

4 packages (3.4 ounces each) instant butterscotch pudding mix

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon ground allspice

2 cups heavy whipping cream

Maraschino cherries, optional

Directions:

Set aside 1/4 cup of cake crumbs for topping. Divide remaining crumbs into four portions; sprinkle one portion into a trifle bowl or 3-qt. serving bowl.

In a large bowl, combine the milk, pumpkin, pudding mixes and spices; beat until smooth. Spoon half into the serving bowl. Sprinkle with a second portion of crumbs. In a small bowl, beat cream until stiff peaks form; spoon half into bowl.

Sprinkle with a third portion of crumbs. Top with the remaining pumpkin mixture, then remaining portion of crumbs and whipped cream. Sprinkle the reserved crumbs around the edge of bowl. Garnish with cherries if desired. Cover and chill at least 2 hours before serving. Makes 12-15 servings.

 

Here is what I did different----instead of using heavy whipping cream, I just used a container of cool whip.

 

Easy & Yummy :)
