Ingredients

For the angel cake layer:

  • 3 cups of angel cake about ⅓ of a cake, cut into ½ inch squares or smaller

For the whipped cream:

  • 1 1/2 cups of whipping cream
  • ½ tablespoon granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon of cinnamon

For the pumpkin layer filling:

  • 8 ounces of cream cheese
  • 1 ½ cup of pumpkin puree
  • 4 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla

Optional:

  • ¼ cup toasted pecans chopped
  • Caramel drizzle

Instructions

  • Start by making your whipped cream. In a stand mixer or bowl whip up your whipping cream, granulated sugar, and cinnamon. Once it forms stiff peaks set aside.
  • Now you will work on your cheesecake layer. In a bowl or stand mixer, add your softened cream cheese, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla. Whip until a thick creamy texture. Fold in 1/3 cup of the whipped cream. Use a spatula and fold it in.
  • Now dice your angel food cake into small cubes.
  • To assemble your pumpkin trifles grab 8-ounce jars or a large bowl. Add in some angel food cake, top with the no-bake pumpkin cheesecake layer, and then add more angel food cake and repeat.
  • When you are done top with cinnamon whipped cream, top with toasted pecans, and drizzle with caramel sauce.
  • Store your pumpkin trifles in the fridge until ready to serve.

Notes

  • You can make single-serve containers or make one large trifle.
  • Swap out the angel food cake for any type of cake or even gingerbread cookies.
  • Make homemade angel food cake or buy store-bought.
  • These no-bake trifles can be made up to two days in advance and can store for three days in the fridge covered.
  • Make sure to use pumpkin puree not pumpkin pie mix.
