    My 16 year old daughter and I made this the night before Thanksgiving and it was a great hit. We loved that it was not too sweet but still hit the spot. It was pretty, festive and very successful!!

    I wanted a dessert that incorporated gingerbread as a trifle. This was perfect. I used cook-n-serve pudding; it was thicker. Made homemade whipped cream, using 2 Cups of HEAVY whipping cream, 1/2-tsp. of cream of tartar, 5 Tbsp. sugar, 1 Tbsp. of confectionery sugar. At other reviewers' suggestions, I crumbled ginger snaps between layers. I added 2 Tsp. pumpkin pie spice to the pumpkin. On the top layer of whipped cream I took 8 ginger snap cookie thins and stood them up around the top and sprinkled a dusting of ground ginger snaps between the cookies. HINT/TIP: Being invited to Thanksgiving, my trifle needed to travel. A trifle bowl is extremely top-heavy. So, I packed the filled trifle bowl in its original box and tied down the 4 flaps of the box to carry it to the car. I set the box on the car floor, cut the string to let the 4 flaps pop out and act as bumpers so it wouldn't tip over. HAPPY THANKSGIVING! A day to be Thankful in Advance, for 2013 will bring what we need!

    Just made this for the first time tonight in preparation for tomorrow's turkey dinner, and I was slightly disappointed. I think that maybe next time I'll used crushed gingerbread snaps, instead of baking gingerbread cookies, and maybe a little more vanilla pudding - the pumpkin's a little too much for my taste! Still, it looks pretty good, nothing like the picture, but still cute! And I'm excited to try it again with some of the suggestions made here!
