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."

This is so easy to make ahead of time and everyone thinks you spent so much time on it. Remember to make the layers from the center out so you don't have to keep cleaning the glass. Switched the butterscotch pudding out for Cheesecake and it was so delicious. Moist.

Just made for company and it was a huge hit! Even my hubby who is not a pumpkin fan loved it. I made adjustments based on the reviews. I used spice cake because store didn't have gingerbread. Instead of 4 boxes sugar-free butterscotch pudding, I used 2 butterscotch and 2 vanilla. Will be making for Thanksgiving!!
