kitanziWhich will be right here behind the cut!
* 2 14 oz packages gingerbread mix
* 1 small box instant vanilla pudding mix
* 2 15 oz cans pumpkin pie filling
* 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
* 1-2 tsp cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice, or other you may like (ginger would be good)
* 1 pint light whipping cream, whipped
* a couple handfuls of raisins (may be soaked in the booze, if you want!)
* spiced rum or brandy, or other booze which seems appropriate (I considered cinnamon schnapps, but when I got it home I found it was PINK!)
Bake the gingerbread according to the package directions; cool completely. Meanwhile, prepare the pudding and put in the fridge to set. Stir the pumpkin pie filling, sugar, and spices into the pudding and put back in to cool some more. You can also add about a quarter to a half cup of the booze to that if you want - the more you put in, the more liquid it will be. Cut the gingerbread into largish cubes and put about half into the bottom of a large, pretty bowl. Gently pour about a half cup of the booze over that to soak in. Pour half of the pudding mixture over the gingerbread, sprinkle on half of the raisins, then add a layer of whipped cream. Repeat with the remaining gingerbread, booze, pudding mixture, raisins and whipped cream. Sprinkle some cinnamon on top, if desired. Ideally, refrigerate overnight.
Obviously this is very flexible - leave out the booze if you'd rather, leave out the raisins, add nuts, decorate, put some extract in the whipped cream for other flavors, use other dried fruit, increase the booze, whatever you like.
What I'd love to come up with is a good trifle recipe with egg nog in it. Anyone know of one?
