We made this Pumpkin and Angel Food Cake Trifle as a special treat for dessert one night. My son loved it so much that he requested this be a new addition to our family’s Thanksgiving dinner. You can also use just the first part of the recipe to make pumpkin pudding! That was delicious too! I had a hard time placing those spoonfuls on the cake and not in my mouth. So if you are going to be a guest this Thanksgiving, make this up and impress your host. This doesn’t take more than 20 minutes to make. I love fast and easy!

How To Make pumpkin & angel food cake trifle

Step 1

In a bowl with a whisk, whip together the pumpkin, the pie spice, and sugar until combined. Now add both pudding mixes and the milk. Mix until combined. Set in freezer while you complete the next step.

Step 2

Cut your angel food cake into bite sized cubes. Now it’s time to start layering the trifle up. Place a layer of the cubes in the bottom of a trifle dish. (or use a large glass bowl instead)
Step 3

On top of the cake add about a third of the pumpkin mixture in heaping spoonfuls. Spread it gently.
Step 4

Continue layering another layer of cake and then pumpkin two more times. Now top with the whipped cream. Serve and Enjoy!
