A few years ago, my oldest daughter and I came up with a delicious Pumpkin Ginger Trifle recipe for Thanksgiving. The original post was also about Advil Menstrual Pain Relief so I decided to re-post just the recipe for those who aren’t in need of pain relief, just dessert!
If you’re looking for a super quick, easy dessert for Thanksgiving, or even just for this fall, I hope you’ll give our Pumpkin Ginger Trifle a try!
Jump to RecipeThis trifle is super easy to make and it only uses a few ingredients including spice cake or gingerbread mix (eggs, oil and water to bake that), instant pudding (we used vanilla and pumpkin spice), whipped topping and ginger snaps. (Full recipe below)
- Bake your cake and cut it into cubes
- Crush up your cookies
- Make the pudding (two 3 oz boxes pumpkin spice and one 5 oz box vanilla) and let chill 5 minutes
- Fold whipped topping into vanilla pudding
- Alternate layers with the cake, pudding and crushed cookies.
- Top with whipped topping and sprinkle crushed ginger cookies on top
Easy!
*NOTE*: If you can’t find the pumpkin spice pudding, mix one 5 oz box of vanilla pudding with one 15 oz can of pumpkin pie filling and 3 cups of cold milk and let chill 5 minutes or until set.

*SIDE-NOTE: If you’re in the mood for chocolate here’s some substitutions: use chocolate cake, chocolate pudding mixed with whipped topping and chocolate sandwich cookies instead. Layer cubed cake, then pudding/whipped topping mix, then crushed cookies, etc. until bowl is full.
