Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 425 grams Pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground ginger
- 102 grams Vanilla instant pudding mix
- 475 ml Milk
- 480 ml Whipped topping (such as Cool Whip), thawed
- 150 grams Gingersnap cookies, crushed
- 50 grams Pecans, chopped (optional)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground ginger until smooth. Set aside.
In another bowl, prepare the vanilla pudding mix according to the package instructions by combining it with the milk. Whisk until it thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
Fold half of the whipped topping (240 ml) into the prepared vanilla pudding to create a light and fluffy pudding mixture.
To assemble the trifle, use a large glass trifle dish or individual serving glasses. Begin by adding a layer of crushed gingersnap cookies at the bottom.
Add a layer of the spiced pumpkin mixture on top of the cookies, spreading it evenly.
Next, add a layer of the whipped pudding mixture, spreading evenly.
Repeat the layers—gingersnap cookies, spiced pumpkin, whipped pudding—until you reach the top of the dish, ending with a layer of whipped topping.
Sprinkle the top layer with extra crushed gingersnap cookies and chopped pecans for garnish (if using).
Cover the trifle with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the layers to set.
Serve chilled and enjoy this deliciously spiced and creamy dessert!
