Ingredients

  • 1 angel food cake, homemade or store bought, cut into 1 inch cubes
  • 12 oz. cool whip
  • 16 oz. cream cheese
  • 15 oz. pumpkin puree
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until completely smooth and creamy, with no lumps remaining.
  • Add the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice. Continue mixing until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is light and fluffy.
  • To assemble the trifle, place half of the cubed angel food cake evenly across the bottom of a trifle bowl.
  • Spoon half of the pumpkin cheesecake mixture over the cake, spreading it into an even layer.
  • Spread half of the Cool Whip on top of the pumpkin layer.
  • Repeat the layers with the remaining cake cubes, pumpkin cheesecake mixture, and Cool Whip.
  • Lightly dust the top with pumpkin pie spice for garnish.
  • Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours, or until well chilled and ready to serve.
