Ingredients
Scale
- 1 Baked Spice Cake
- 1 Cup Pumpkin Puree
- 1 Package Vanilla Pudding (instant)
- 2 Cups Milk
- 2 Cups Whipped Topping
- 1 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
Instructions
- Prepare the Spice Cake: Start by baking your spice cake according to the package instructions or your own recipe. Once it’s out of the oven and cooled, cut it into cubes. Brush lightly with simple syrup for extra moisture.
- Make the Vanilla Pudding: In a mixing bowl, combine the instant pudding mix with the milk. Whisk until smooth and thick, about 2 minutes.
- Combine Pumpkin and Pudding: In another bowl, mix the pumpkin puree with the prepared vanilla pudding. Blend in the pumpkin pie spice until well combined.
- Fold in the Whipped Topping: Gently fold in the whipped topping to the pumpkin-pudding mixture to maintain an airy texture.
- Assemble the Trifle: Start with a layer of spice cake cubes, followed by a layer of the pumpkin-pudding mixture, then a fluffy layer of whipped topping. Repeat until all ingredients are used.
- Chill: Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, up to overnight.
Notes
For added flair, sprinkle crushed graham crackers or toasted pecans on top before serving.
