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."

Made this for Thanksgiving and everyone loved them! I made them in individual glasses instead since none of the stores in my area carried full size trifle bowls. I made them with one layer of gingerbread cake and one of spice cake which worked really well. Will definitely be making these again!

Loved this recipe! One of the lightest desserts. Made it for 2 Thanksgiving dinners w/ no leftovers. This is something I would make anytime of the year.

I made this, but it seemed too bland with the amount of pudding,and pumpkin ratio, so I increased the pudding.I will definetely make this beautiful,tasty recipe again!

I made it for a get together and since I don't particularly like gingerbread, I used spice cake instead and it was a hit.

I am a Pampered Chef Consultant and tried this at one of my shows, using Pumpkin Pie Spice pudding instead. A big hit. Sold alot of Trifle Bowls. If your looking for a good one, check out my website @ pamperedchef.biz/brendahoschele

has anybody tried this with vanilla pudding instead of butterscotch? Whoops - sorry - I had missed Little Lady's comment.
