Ingredients

2 (14-ounce) packages gingerbread mix

1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 teaspoon ground cardamom or cinnamon

Fabulous!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this Friday night for a dinner party and it was quite the hit! I thought it was easy to make...be sure to use a large... trifle bowl because it makes a lot. I used a punch bowl and it worked perfectly. The dessert is very impressive looking. I made it a day ahead of time, so that helped with time management. My friends were all very complimentary. One said, "Why would anyone ever eat pumpkin pie when this was available!" I keep saying it is the best dessert I've ever made. This one is definitely a keeper!Read more
