Description

This Pumpkin Cheesecake Trifle is a quick and easy dessert that layers airy angel food cake with a creamy pumpkin cheesecake mixture, whipped topping, and a crunchy pecan and cinnamon garnish. Perfect for fall gatherings or anytime you want a festive and delicious treat in just minutes.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 Angel Food Cake
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 cup whipped topping

Toppings

  • 4 Tablespoons whipped topping
  • Ground cinnamon, for sprinkling
  • 4 Tablespoons pecans, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cake pieces: Cut the Angel Food Cake into pieces about 1/2 inch thick, ensuring they fit well into your serving jars or glasses.
  2. Make the pumpkin cheesecake mixture: In a mixer, combine the softened cream cheese, pumpkin puree, sugar, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix until well blended and smooth.
  3. Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold the 1 cup of whipped topping into the pumpkin and cream cheese mixture until just combined, creating a light and fluffy pumpkin cheesecake filling.
  4. Assemble the trifle: Place a layer of angel food cake pieces at the bottom of each mason jar or serving glass. Top with a layer of the pumpkin cheesecake mixture. Repeat layers with remaining cake and pumpkin cheesecake mix.
  5. Add final toppings: Spoon some whipped topping on top of each trifle, then sprinkle with cinnamon and chopped pecans for added texture and flavor.
  6. Refrigerate before serving: Chill the assembled trifles in the refrigerator until ready to serve, allowing flavors to meld and the dessert to set slightly, about 1 hour.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free option, substitute cream cheese and whipped topping with vegan alternatives.
  • Use fresh pumpkin pie spice or make your own with cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger for the best flavor.
  • Assemble trifles a few hours ahead to allow layers to meld and chill properly.
  • Use chopped toasted pecans to enhance the crunch and flavor.
  • Serve in clear jars or glasses to showcase the beautiful layers.
