Pumpkin Trifle
- 9 sheets chocolate graham crackers
- 14 cup crystallized ginger
- 16 ounces butter pound cake
- 4 12 cups heavy cream, divided
- 1 14 cups powdered sugar, divided
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, divided
- 12 cup canned pumpkin pie filling
- 12 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- In a food processor, combine the graham crackers and candied ginger.
- Process until they resemble fine crumbs.
- Set aside.
- Cut the pound cake into 1-inch-thick slices, then cut each slice into roughly 1-inch cubes.
- Arrange about half the cubes in a single layer on the bottom of a glass trifle dish.
- Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of heavy cream, 1/4 cup powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla.
- Use an electric mixer with the whisk attachment to beat the cream into stiff peaks.
- Spoon about two-thirds of the whipped cream over the cake cubes in the trifle bowl, smoothing it into a single layer with the back of a spoon.
- Sprinkle the graham cracker crumb mixture over the cream in an even layer.
- To the remaining whipped cream in the bowl, add the pumpkin pie filling, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, pumpkin pie spice, 1/2 cup heavy cream.
- Use the electric mixer to beat until thick.
- Spoon the pumpkin pie mixture over the crumb layer, then use the back of a spoon to smooth to an even layer.
- Arrange the remaining cake cubes in a single layer over the pumpkin pie mixture.
- Trifle can be made several hours ahead of time and refrigerated at this point.
- Clean the mixer bowl, then combine the remaining 2 cups of heavy cream, 1/2 cup powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Use the mixer to beat to stiff peaks, then spoon the cream over the cake layer.
- Decorate the top of the trifle as desired.
