This delicious and light dessert would also be a good filling for a no-bake pie in a graham cracker or crushed gingersnap crust. Another festive idea would be to use it as a filling for Pumpkin Parfaits and layer with crushed gingersnaps and whipped cream.

You can either make one large pumpkin or multiple smaller pumpkins if you prefer individual servings.

This beautiful dessert is almost as much fun to look at as it is to eat. With gingerbread, pumpkin, gingersnaps, and pudding, you know it is going to be good. if you don’t have a trifle bowl, you can use a large, clear salad bowl. You can probably get away with making just one gingerbread recipe if you want to – I used about 1-1/2 of the two that I made when I prepared it in a trifle bowl, and you can see that I almost ran out of room in the bowl.
