  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 1 hour

Ingredients

– 2 cups pumpkin puree
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup powdered sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
– ½ teaspoon ground ginger
– 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
– 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
– ½ cup brown sugar
– 1 box (16 ounces) gingerbread cake mix (or your preferred cake mix)
– 1 cup milk
– Optional: Crushed gingersnap cookies for garnish


Instructions

Creating a Pumpkin Trifle is straightforward when you follow these simple steps:

1. Bake the Cake: Prepare the gingerbread cake according to the package instructions. Allow it to cool completely before cutting it into cubes.
2. Prepare the Pumpkin Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and half of the powdered sugar. Mix until well blended.
3. Make the Cream Cheese Mixture: In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the remaining powdered sugar and brown sugar until smooth and creamy.
4. Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until combined.
5. Layer the Trifle: In a large trifle dish or individual glasses, start with a layer of cake cubes at the bottom. Add a layer of the pumpkin mixture, followed by a layer of the cream cheese mixture.
6. Repeat Layers: Continue layering until the dish is full, finishing with a layer of the cream cheese mixture on top.
7. Chill: Cover the trifle with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
8. Garnish: Before serving, top with crushed gingersnap cookies for an added crunch and flavor.
