HOUSTON LIFE – Need an easy dessert to make for Thanksgiving? A pumpkin trifle comes together in minutes with some make-ahead shortcuts.
You can make it in a large 4-quart trifle dish, or individual glasses. Make it a few hours in advance and store in the fridge until you’re ready to serve dessert!
The secret to this recipe is using shortcut ingredients. Tanji suggests using pre-made dulce de leche and H-E-B pumpkin bread (can replace with your favorite store-bought loaf, box mix or made-from-scratch recipe).
The next part of this recipe is the pumpkin puree mixture. Tanji uses a can of pumpkin puree, brown sugar, white sugar, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, salt and grated nutmeg for her mix.
Tanji recommends these wines for Thanksgiving.
