Here is a favorite trifle recipe of mine,
Paula Deen's Pumpkin Gingerbread Trifle
2 (14-oz) packages gingerbread mix
1 (5.1-oz) package cook-and-serve vanilla pudding mix
1 (30-oz) can pumpkin pie filling
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 teaspoon ground cardamom or cinnamon
1 (12-oz) container frozen whipped topping
1/2 cup gingersnaps, optional
Bake the gingerbread according to the package directions;
cool
completely. Meanwhile, prepare the pudding and set aside to
cool. Stir the pumpkin pie filling, sugar, and cardamom into
the pudding. Crumble 1 batch 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 whipped topping.
Repeat with the remaining gingerbread, pudding, and whipped
topping. Sprinkle of the top with crushed gingersnaps, if
desired. Refrigerate overnight. Trifle can be layered in a
punch bowl.
Also, I notice in the two submitted sweet potato trifle
recipes, which seem to be the identical recipe, one calls
for a 13 oz. can of evaporated milk, and one calls for a 5
oz. can of evaporated milk. Any idea which is right? Do they
both work equally well?
I'd like to make this for Thanksgiving but I'm Puzzled
