Number Of Ingredients 20

GINGERBREAD
1/2 c shortening
2 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp brown sugar
1 egg
1 c hot water
1 c molasses
2 1/4 c all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cinnamon
3/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
OTHER TRIFLE PARTS
1 box cook and serve vanilla pudding mix (large)
1 can(s) 30 oz. pumpkin pie filling
1/2 c brown sugar
1-2 tsp ground cinnamon
12 oz cool whip
1/2 c gingersnaps, optional

Steps:

  • 1. For the Gingerbread - In a large mixing bowl, cream the shortening and sugars. Add egg; mix well. Beat in water and molasses. Combine the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg; gradually add to creamed mixture.
  • 2. Pour into a greased 9-in. square baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 33-37 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Let cool completely before assembling the trifle.
  • 3. While the gingerbread is cooling, prepare the pudding and set aside to cool. When it is cool, stir the pumpkin pie filling, sugar, and cinnamon into the pudding.
  • 4. To assemble - Crumble 1/2 of gingerbread into the bottom of a large, pretty bowl. Pour 1/2 of the pudding mixture over the gingerbread, then add a layer of Cool Whip. Repeat with the remaining gingerbread, pudding, and Cool Whip. Sprinkle the top with crushed gingersnaps, if desired.
  • 5. Refrigerate overnight.
