Number Of Ingredients 20

GINGERBREAD
1/2 c shortening
2 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp brown sugar
1 egg
1 c hot water
1 c molasses
2 1/4 c all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cinnamon
3/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
OTHER TRIFLE PARTS
1 box cook and serve vanilla pudding mix (large)
1 can(s) 30 oz. pumpkin pie filling
1/2 c brown sugar
1-2 tsp ground cinnamon
12 oz cool whip
1/2 c gingersnaps, optional

Steps:

  • 1. For the Gingerbread - In a large mixing bowl, cream the shortening and sugars. Add egg; mix well. Beat in water and molasses. Combine the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg; gradually add to creamed mixture.
  • 2. Pour into a greased 9-in. square baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 33-37 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Let cool completely before assembling the trifle.
  • 3. While the gingerbread is cooling, prepare the pudding and set aside to cool. When it is cool, stir the pumpkin pie filling, sugar, and cinnamon into the pudding.
  • 4. To assemble - Crumble 1/2 of gingerbread into the bottom of a large, pretty bowl. Pour 1/2 of the pudding mixture over the gingerbread, then add a layer of Cool Whip. Repeat with the remaining gingerbread, pudding, and Cool Whip. Sprinkle the top with crushed gingersnaps, if desired.
  • 5. Refrigerate overnight.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my trifle didn't turn out well. The cake layer was too dense and the mousse layer was too runny.

The trifle was a bit dry. I think I should have used more milk or cream in the pumpkin mousse layer.

This trifle was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I made a few substitutions to the recipe and the trifle still turned out great! I used store-bought pumpkin puree and gingerbread cookies, and I omitted the whipped cream layer.
