Pumpkin Gingerbread Trifle
Pumpkin Gingerbread Trifle
by Jolayne Cooper from Americus, GA
This gingerbread trifle is a large dessert that’s beautiful and meant to serve a crowd. It would be a delicious addition to any holiday table. The homemade gingerbread is sweet and tender. Thick and creamy, the pumpkin pudding has just the right amount of spice. Gingerbread and pumpkin are a wonderful flavor combination. The Cool Whip on top is light and a contrast to the other bold flavors in this trifle. While this takes a while to prepare, it’s an easy holiday dessert.
