Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Pumpkin puree
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 3 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 10 pieces Gingerbread cookies, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Add the pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger to the cream cheese. Mix until well combined and smooth.
In a separate chilled bowl, whip 1.5 cups of heavy cream with the granulated sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture to create a light and airy mousse. Reserve the other half of the whipped cream for layering and topping.
To assemble the trifle, start by adding a layer of crumbled gingerbread cookies to the bottom of individual serving glasses or a large trifle bowl.
Spoon a layer of pumpkin mousse over the cookies, followed by a layer of whipped cream.
Repeat the layers until the glass or bowl is filled, ending with a dollop of whipped cream on top.
Garnish the trifle with extra cookie crumbles, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a small gingerbread cookie if desired.
Chill the trifle in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
