This is from Paula Dean. It is just amazing for fall/Thanksgiving! I use real whipped cream instead, bu cool whip would work just fine. It makes a TON!

Ingredients
2 (14 ounce) packages gingerbread mix
1 (5 1/8 ounce) package vanilla pudding mix
1 (30 ounce) can pumpkin pie filling
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/3 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 pinches ground cardamom
1/4 cup sherry wine or Southern Comfort (very tasty!) (optional)
1 (12 ounce) container frozen whipped topping
1/2 cup crushed gingersnap cookie
2-3 tablespoons chopped pecans, for garnish (optional)
Directions

Preheat your oven then mix and bake the gingerbread according to the package directions; turn out onto a rack and let cool completely.

While gingerbread is baking, cook the vanilla pudding according to the package directions; set aside and let cool.

When pudding has cooled, stir in the pie filling, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cardamom.

Crumble the cooled gingerbread into pieces (about 1/4 inch, but not too finely).

(If you have a trifle bowl, wonderful- otherwise you can use another large decorative bowl or a punchbowl to assemble the trifle in).

Put half of the crumbled gingerbread in the bottom of the bowl, sprinkle with half of the sherry or Southern Comfort (if using), then pour half of the pudding mixture over it, and then half of the whipped topping.

Repeat the layers with the remaining prepared ingredients as above, then sprinkle the crushed gingersnaps over the top (2 or 3 tablespoons chopped pecans would make a good addition to the topping, as well).

Cover with plastic wrap and chill overnight in the refrigerator.

Notes: you can use spice cake instead of gingerbread for a gentler flavor.

This one was fabulous. Everyone loved it. Read the reviews if you decide to make it, I modified it with many of the suggestions; cheese cake pudding mix for one thing. I also made it this summer with vanilla yogurt and pudding mix.

Ok, Rachel Green! Nice try!!!

A traditional English Trifle is this:
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup margarine
1/2 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

1 pint heavy cream
1/4 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 (4.6 ounce) package non-instant vanilla pudding mix
1 (8 ounce) jar seedless raspberry jam
1/2 cup sherry
4 fresh peaches - peeled, pitted and sliced
1 pint fresh strawberries, rinsed and sliced
1 pint blueberries

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch cake pan.
In large bowl, cream together margarine and 1/2 cup sugar. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Combine flour, baking powder and salt. Fold dry ingredients into butter mixture. Pour into prepared pan.
Bake 25 minutes, or until cake springs back when lightly touched in center. Cool in pan for five minutes, then remove from pan and cool completely on wire rack. Cut into narrow pieces about 1 1/2 inches by 4 inches. Set aside.
In large bowl, beat cream with electric mixer until soft peaks form. Beat in 1/4 cup sugar and vanilla and continue to beat until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
Prepare vanilla pudding according to package directions. Set aside.
To Assemble Trifle: Brush each piece of cake with raspberry jam. Use half the cake pieces to line the bottom of a trifle bowl or other glass serving dish. Sprinkle half of the sherry over cake. Layer half the peaches, strawberries and blueberries on top. Cover with half the pudding and a third of the whipped cream. Repeat layers with remaining cake, sherry, fruit and pudding. Top with remaining whipped cream. Chill in refrigerator at least 30 minutes before serving.


I have been making this for years and it is always a hit!

The one that Rachel made above....not so much

 

[DLSuperVet]

Ok, Rachel Green! Nice try!!!

Awesome. I didn't think anybody would get it. My clever trophy goes to you.

 

[crazyme5kids]

All of these triffles sound so good.

 

[emer95]

That was hilarious, DLSupervet! I laughed right out loud.

 

[DLSuperVet]

I'm glad people got the gag. I almost hate to say it sounded kind of good.

English Trifle... gooood
Shepherd's Pie... goooood

 

[Soarin08]

Brownies. Chocolate pudding. Cool Whip. Crushed Heath bars.

Amazing!!!

That's the one my mom is making this year!!!!

 

[minnie56]

I do a layer of Ladyfingers or Sponge cake cut into chunks-typically you would soak for a few hours in Sherry. I use Chambord. Then I layer fresh raspberries. Chill again and then add some lovely rich custard.Chill again for a couple of hours. Top with Fresh whipped cream added shortly before serving and with crumbled Flake chocolate scattered on top.

Perfect.

Trifle is typically 3 layers..cake/custard and cream. Most add a fruit of some sort.

Cool Whip? Never.
