Pumpkin Trifle shared by Emma
>From Light & Tasty There's more to pumpkin than pie, as Hyla Lehenbauer points out with this impressive trifle. "It looks so elegant with alternating layers of gingerbread cake and pumpkin/butterscotch pudding," she writes from New London, Missouri. "Try making it ahead of time for a fuss-free dessert when you're planning to entertain guests." SERVINGS 18 CATEGORY Lower Fat PREP 60 min. TOTAL 60 min. INGREDIENTS 1 package (14-1/2 ounces) gingerbread cake mix 1-1/4 cups water 1 egg 4 cups cold fat-free milk 4 packages (1 ounce each) sugar-free instant butterscotch pudding mix 1 can (15 ounces) solid-pack pumpkin 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon each ground ginger, nutmeg and allspice 1 carton (12 ounces) frozen reduced-fat whipped topping, thawed DIRECTIONS In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, water and egg, beat on low speed for 30 seconds. Beat on medium for 2 minutes. Pour into an ungreased 8-in. square baking pan. Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. When completely cooled, crumble the cake. Set aside 1/4 cup crumbs for garnish. In a large bowl, whisk milk and pudding mixes for 2 minutes or until slightly thickened. Let stand for 2 minutes or until soft-set. Stir in pumpkin and spices until well blended. In a trifle bowl or 3-1/2-qt. glass serving bowl, layer a fourth of the cake crumbs, half of the pumpkin mixture, a fourth of the cake crumbs and half of the whipped topping. Repeat layers. Garnish with reserved cake crumbs. Serve immediately or refrigerate until serving. Yield: 18 servings.
