Easy Pumpkin Spice Trifle
October is winding down and my mind is shifting to Thanksgiving! I look forward to spending a day with family and having a festive dinner! How about you? I usually cook Thanksgiving dinner at our house, and our guests bring their favorite side dishes or desserts. I wanted to share one of my favorite Thanksgiving desserts with y’all – it’s always a crowd pleaser, it makes a lot and it’s so easy … what more could you ask for?!
Any large, clear glass bowl is best for showing off the layers! Sometimes, I like to add salted caramel sauce in with the other layers for that little bit of extra somethin’ somethin’. You can also layer this in individual trifle bowls if you would like! This serves a lot – so make sure you have lots of help eating this! 🙂 Enjoy your easy Pumpkin Spice Trifle!
