A perfect holiday dessert should taste delicious, nod to seasonal flavors and look sensational. This gingerbread trifle recipe ticks all those boxes, especially if you add easy<\/em> to the checklist.<\/p>\n

Depending on where you live, a trifle<\/a> is either an old-fashioned layered dessert or something you regularly see on The Great British Bake Off<\/em> (or both!). More traditional versions of trifle desserts include alcohol-soaked sponge, jam and homemade custard, but Americanized trifle recipes usually feature cake, pudding, and whipped cream or topping\u2014all ingredients can be homemade, semi-homemade or store-bought. Our gingerbread trifle recipe is closer to the latter.<\/p>\n

You’ll want a clear vessel, like a tall-sided glass bowl, to show off the layers of cut-up cake, pudding mix and frozen whipped topping. The secret is all in the combination. Tender spiced cake melds with creamy pudding, crispy candy pieces break up the softness and a thick layer of whip caps the dessert with an airy, rich elegance. You can make it in minutes, but it looks like a show-stopper. It’s a perfect match for holiday parties<\/a>, but nobody will complain if you make this recipe for gingerbread trifle any night of the week.<\/p>\n
