A delightful no-bake dessert featuring layers of moist pumpkin bread, creamy pumpkin cheesecake filling, crunchy ginger snap cookies, and fluffy whipped topping. Perfect for autumn celebrations or a festive treat.

Ingredients

Pumpkin Bread Layer

  • 1 loaf pumpkin bread, cubed

Cheesecake Filling

  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 15 ounces pumpkin puree

Toppings

  • 3 cups crushed ginger snap cookies, plus more for garnish
  • 16 ounces frozen whipped topping, thawed

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cheesecake Mixture: Beat the cream cheese and sugar together until light and fluffy to create a smooth base.
  2. Add Pumpkin Puree: Mix in the pumpkin puree and continue beating until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold half of the thawed whipped topping into the pumpkin cheesecake mixture to add lightness.
  4. Layer Pumpkin Bread: Place cubed pumpkin bread evenly at the bottom of each trifle dish.
  5. Add Cheesecake Layer: Spoon the pumpkin cheesecake mixture over the cubed pumpkin bread layer, smoothing it out.
  6. Sprinkle Ginger Snaps: Add a layer of crushed ginger snap cookies over the cheesecake mixture to add a crunchy texture.
  7. Top with Remaining Whipped Topping: Spread the remaining whipped topping evenly over the ginger snap layer.
  8. Chill: Cover each trifle dish and refrigerate for at least four hours, preferably overnight, to allow flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
  9. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, garnish with additional crushed ginger snap cookies and pumpkin bread cubes for extra texture and presentation.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened at room temperature to avoid lumps in the filling.
  • Use fresh pumpkin bread for best texture and flavor; store-bought or homemade both work well.
  • For a stronger ginger flavor, toast the crushed ginger snaps slightly before layering.
  • You can substitute whipped topping with freshly whipped cream for a less processed option.
  • These mini trifles can be assembled earlier in the day for convenience and improved flavor melding.
