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 Prepare the cake mix batter according to the package directions. Bake and cool the cake, then cut it into 1\/2-inch cubes.<\/p>\n In a large bowl, whisk the milk and pudding mix for two minutes.<\/p>\n Let stand for two minutes or until soft-set.<\/p>\n Choose a 2-quart serving bowl, preferably a clear one, so everyone can admire the layers of the trifle. Spread half the cubed gingerbread cake on the bottom of the bowl. Top the cake with half the vanilla pudding.<\/p>\n Sprinkle with 1\/2 cup toffee bits or almond brickle chips.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> It’s easiest to dollop a few spoonfuls of the pudding around the cake layer and then spread it across with a spatula or the back of a spoon.<\/p>\n Top with the remaining cake, then smooth across the second half of the pudding.<\/p>\n Spread whipped topping over the top.<\/p>\n Sprinkle the remaining toffee bits over the whipped topping. Decorate with cherries.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em>\u00a0While you can serve the trifle immediately, refrigerating it for an hour or more allows the flavors to meld and the textures to settle.<\/p>\n Store gingerbread trifle desserts in the refrigerator. Cover the serving bowl with storage wrap or transfer leftovers to an airtight container (they may get messy, but they’ll still taste delicious). The longer the trifle sits in the fridge, the softer the cake pieces will get as they soak up moisture from the pudding and whip.<\/p>\n Gingerbread trifle will keep in the refrigerator for three to four days.<\/p>\n A trifle doesn’t have to be made the night before, but you can certainly make it in advance. As it sits, the cake will soak up some of the pudding’s moisture and flavor, and the spices in the cake will scent the pudding, making for a full-flavored experience. Plus, it’s always nice to have dessert made ahead of time<\/a>.<\/p>\n Scoop out the gingerbread trifle, going deep into the bowl to get a bit of cake, pudding, crunch and cream in every serving. It’s a little messy in a bowl but so delicious no one will even notice.<\/p>\n Serve this recipe for gingerbread trifle after a fancy Christmas dinner<\/a>, a traditional Thanksgiving meal<\/a> or a casual Friendsgiving party<\/a>. Bring it to a New Year’s potluck<\/a>, or bust out the recipe for a Halloween party<\/a> (try the pumpkin pudding variation!). Gingerbread trifle desserts are fancy enough to follow elegant dinners<\/a> like lamb<\/a> or stuffed salmon<\/a>, but this gingerbread trifle recipe is equally delicious after roast chicken<\/a> or your favorite chili recipe<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Elegant and easy, gingerbread trifle is a foolproof holiday dessert.
