Pumpkin Trifle image

One of the nice things about this trifle is the way it uses up leftover cakes that never seem to get eaten! It's convenient, too-it tastes like a traditional pumpkin pie, even though you don't have to make a crust or bake it. My husband's a construction worker and ex-farm boy. When we were first married, it was trial and error to cook like his mother. Now, after 17 years, he says that I've passed the test! We have four children, 13 to 8. So there's another reason I like this trifles-it lasts through two meals at least!

This trifle is a good starting point, but it needs some tweaking to make it really great.

I would make this trifle again, but I would make a few changes. I would use a different recipe for the pumpkin cake and I would add more spices to the whipped cream.

I found this recipe to be a bit confusing. The instructions weren't very clear and I had to guess at some parts.

My trifle didn't turn out as well as I hoped. The cake was a little dry and the whipped cream was too runny.

This trifle is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar in the pumpkin cake and whipped cream.

I wasn't sure how I would like the combination of pumpkin and gingersnap, but it was actually really good! The two flavors complemented each other nicely.

This is the best pumpkin trifle I've ever had! The cake is moist and flavorful, the whipped cream is light and fluffy, and the gingersnap crumbs add a nice crunch.

This pumpkin trifle was a hit at our Thanksgiving dinner! The layers of pumpkin cake, whipped cream, and gingersnap crumbs were perfect, and the pumpkin spice flavor was just right.
