Do you love pumpkin pie? I sure do. I heard about this recipe for a pumpkin trifle and decided to try it out. Wow! It was amazing! It totally tasted like a pumpkin pie. So here is a pic of it and the recipe for those of you who want to try it too. But be warned, it makes a lot. I brought it to our gold medal hockey event and the 14 of us couldn’t finish the desert off.

1 spice caked (baked)
3 packages of instant butterscotch pudding (don’t make according to package instructions)
500mL whipping cream (frozen or home made)
2 1/2 cups milk
1 can pumpkin pie filling (if you get pure pumpkin, you have to add spices to the mix)

First of all, I found out that Superstore and Extra Foods doesn’t carry spice cake mixes so get that at Sobeys. Bake the spice cake according to the package instructions and allow to cool. Mix together the puddings, milk and pumpkin. Crumble the spices cake and sepparate into 3 parts. Put one part on the bottom of a large serving bowl. Then add a layer of the pudding, and add a layer of whipping cream. Repeat this layering process until everything is used up but make sure you save some crumbs to decorate the top of the trifle. Enjoy!
