I like to cook but find it’s one of those daily chores that goes out the window when we get really busy and opt for waffles for dinner yet again (the mr. hates that).
My thinking is that if I have some sort of accountability by reporting to you what’s cooking each Friday I might be more motivated to plan meals. Can I get away serving my family a trifle for dinner?
Here goes our first Food Friday.You may have guessed by now that I love a good trifle.

(Remember my post about Chocolate Trifle)?
It’s super easy to make, delicious to eat and has a dramatic “wow” factor.
This Pumpkin Spiced Trifle is a slight variation from a Paula Deen recipe and fitting for Halloween.
Trying to pipe cool whip with one hand and take a picture with the other is no easy task.
When you can use both hands it will look much prettier than this.
I try and go easy on the cool whip and pumpkin pudding layers and go heavy on the cake layer.
Pumpkin Spiced Trifle
-Pumpkin Spice Bread (I like Krusteaz mix).
-1/2 cup brown sugar
-1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
-30 ounce can of pumpkin pie
-2 boxes (3 ounce each) of Vanilla Cook and Serve pudding.
-Tub of Cool Whip or whipped cream.
Cook pudding according to directions on box then let cool. Mix in pumpkin pie, cinnamon and brown sugar until smooth. In a trifle bowl, layer bread then pumpkin pudding then Cool Whip until you reach the top of the bowl. Add Gingersnaps to the top (optional). Refrigerate. Enjoy!

i made a trifle like that for thanksgiving one year a few years ago. my mom begs me to make it again every year! perfect fall flavors!!! =)
Hi Michelle – it’s your BFF from Ohio 🙂 Thanks for posting this! How did you know I needed to make a pumpkin dessert for our family dinner this year?? 🙂 Sounds heavenly! ~Mary
No, Michelle, I don’t think you can get away with serving a pumpkin trifle for dinner.:( The waffles for dinner (once in a while)is probably a better choice. And while the trifle is beautiful and all, serving it as a dessert may be the way to go with this one. Thanks for sharing it.
Omgosh, this is going straight into my recipe box. And I have to support the idea of trifle for dinner. Especially if it’s chocolate : )
This. Looks. Fabulous. Adding this to my Fall TO MAKE list!
Thanks for this nice recipe.. I have tried it at home, though could not make it as it is, but I was successful partly and whatever I made, my family liked it very much. SO I am going to try it again.
um, my mouth is ACTUALLY watering. this looks fantastic, esp. for the holidays!
That was a definite Pin!
