One of the nice things about this trifle is the way it uses up leftover cakes that never seem to get eaten! It's convenient, too—it tastes like a traditional pumpkin pie, even though you don't have to make a crust or bake it. My husband's a construction worker and ex-farm boy. When we were first married, it was trial and error to cook like his mother. Now, after 17 years, he says that I've passed the test! We have four children, 13 to 8. So there's another reason I like this trifles—it lasts through two meals at least!

I've made this twice now. I still can't get the pretty layers but it tastes awesome!

I've been making this for Thanksgiving for the past several years, and it's a big hit with my family. It's a great alternative to pie. My teenage son even requests it as his "birthday cake!" I mentioned trying a new recipe this year, and the family had a fit -- so I guess I'll stick with this winner!

I made this for a dinner party.. Everyone loved it. It did not look as good as the picture. I thionk next time I will not crumble the cake and I will thin out the pumpkin layer so it is more spreadable...

I just served this at a luncheon and had multiple requests for the recipe. It went over very well! I would highly recommend it for others to try especially those with a penchant for light, healthier recipes.

Delicious flavor, but too sweet! I would try cutting back on the amount of pudding and/or try sugar free pudding. everyone raved how beautiful it looked. first couple spoonfuls were yummy too. but then the sweetness caught up with you. needs less sugar!

I made this with non-fat milk, sugar free pudding and fat free cool whip. NO-ONE knew the difference. This trifle is delish.

I've been making this trifle for years, ever since it first showed up in Taste of Home in the early 90's. It is an impressive dessert for guests, potlucks, or holidays, and is a family favorite! Absolutely delicious!
