Gingerbread Trifle

Name: Gingerbread Trifle
Prep time: 15 min
Total time: 15 min
Yield: 8-10 servings.
Ingredients: 2 cups cold milk; 1 package (3.4 ounces) instant French vanilla pudding mix; 7 cups cubed Gingerbread Cake; 3/4 cup English toffee bits or almond brickle chips; 1 carton (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed; 1 maraschino cherry

"This tasty dessert was a hit when I served it to our Bible study group," reports Betty Kleberger of Florissant, Missouri. "It's a wonderful blend of flavors and a great ending to holiday meals." If you don't have leftover gingerbread, bake some from a boxed mix to assemble this trifle.

Ingredients

2 cups cold milk
1 package (3.4 ounces) instant French vanilla pudding mix
7 cups cubed Gingerbread Cake
3/4 cup English toffee bits or almond brickle chips
1 carton (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 maraschino cherry

Directions

In a large bowl, whisk milk and pudding mix for 2 minutes. Let stand for 2 minutes or until soft-set.
In a 2-qt. serving bowl, layer half of the cake cubes and pudding. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup toffee bits. Top with remaining cake and pudding. Spread whipped topping over the top; sprinkle with remaining toffee bits. Garnish with cherry.

I made this using my mother's recipe for gingerbread. Delicious!!!!! I'd make gingerbread again just to make this recipe.

Big hit at the Christmas party. I used 2 puddings too and put a 2nd layer of Heath crunchies before the whipped cream like someone suggested. Delicious! Betty Crocker makes a Gingerbread cake mix thats what i use for the cake instead of from scratch, saves some time.

This is very easy to make and I got great compliments on it. However, I added another box of pudding because using only one box was too skimpy. Also, I added more Heath bar crunch after the second layer of pudding and just sprinkled a little on top of the Cool Whip for decoration.

This was a great recipe. I did use 2 packages of vanilla pudding mix instead of just one and it seemed better. I just wasn't enough. Great flavour, will make it again.
