There's more to pumpkin than pie, as this impressive trifle proves. It looks so elegant with alternating layers of gingerbread cake and pumpkin/butterscotch pudding. Try making it ahead of time for a fuss-free dessert when you're planning to entertain guests. —Lyla Lehenbauer, New London, Missouri

I made this for a family Thanksgiving gathering and it was a hit. It was a tasty dessert which was the perfect finish to the full meal, especially for those with diabetic issues. I would definitely make it again.

Tried it on my co-workers - if they liked it, I would make it for Thanksgiving - it passed with flying colors!

I made this with crumbled ginger snap cookies instead of cake. My Boyfriend loved it. You would never know it is lite!!

I did change things up a bit. I used vanilla pudding and mixed it with the cool-whip for a more mousse like consistency between the layers. I also garnished with gingerbread cookies around the rim and crushed some over the top.

I bring out this recipe each Fall and can't count the number times I have made it! I am always asked for the recipe. I prefer the spice cake and do not need to use it all. Has a great presentation and is yummy for all us pumpkin lovers! Great for a large group.

This was excellent! I used a spice cake mix instead as well as "fatten" other ingredients up. I used 2% milk, regular pudding, and sugar-free (instead of fat-free) whipped topping. This was a huge hit and I will definitely make again!

Took this to a family gathering. They ate most of it, which my family genreally does not do.
