Time P1DT1h50m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (14.5 ounce) package gingerbread cake mix
1 ¼ cups lukewarm water
1 egg
1 cook-and-serve vanilla pudding mix
3 cups milk
1 (30 ounce) can pumpkin pie filling
¼ cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon rum
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
½ teaspoon ground cloves

10 gingersnap cookies

  • Combine pudding with milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit and cool completely with a layer of plastic wrap directly touching the surface, to prevent a skin from forming.

  • Tear cooled cake into cubes or bite-size pieces. Arrange in a layer at the bottom of a large glass or trifle bowl. Pour 1/2 of the pumpkin mixture over cake; layer 1/2 of the whipped topping over pumpkin. Repeat layers.

  • Chill the trifle before serving: This will help the flavors to meld together and the trifle to set.
