Number Of Ingredients 29

For gingerbread:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 stick unsalted butter, softened
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 large egg
1/2 cup mild molasses (not robust or blackstrap)
3/4 cup well-shaken buttermilk (not powdered)
1/2 cup hot water
For pumpkin mousse:
1 (1/4-ounces) envelope unflavored gelatin
1/4 cup cold water
1 (15-ounces) can pure pumpkin
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup chilled heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
For whipped cream:
1 1/2 cups chilled heavy cream
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Equipment: a 2-quart trifle bowl or other deep serving bowl
Garnish: chopped crystallized ginger

Steps:

  • Make gingerbread:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle. Butter a 13- by 9-inch baking pan. Line pan with foil, leaving an overhang at both ends, then butter foil.
  • Whisk together flour, baking soda, spices, and salt.
  • Beat butter and brown sugar with an electric mixer at medium speed until pale and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Beat in egg until blended, then beat in molasses and buttermilk. At low speed, mix in flour mixture until smooth, then add hot water and beat 1 minute (batter may look curdled).
  • Spread batter evenly in pan and bake until a wooden pick inserted into center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool in pan. Using foil as an aid, transfer gingerbread to a cutting board and cut into 1-inch cubes with a serrated knife.
  • Make pumpkin mousse:
  • Sprinkle gelatin over cold water in a small saucepan and let soften 1 minute. Bring to a simmer, stirring until gelatin has dissolved. Whisk together gelatin mixture, pumpkin, brown sugar, spices, and salt in a large bowl until combined well.
  • Beat cream with vanilla using cleaned beaters until it holds soft peaks, then fold into pumpkin mixture gently but thoroughly.
  • Make whipped cream:
  • Beat cream with sugar and vanilla using mixer until it holds soft peaks.
  • Assemble trifle:
  • Put half of gingerbread cubes in trifle bowl. Top with half of pumpkin mousse, then half of whipped cream. Repeat layering once more with all of remaining gingerbread, mousse, and cream. Chill at least 2 hours before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and flavorful ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the final product, so be sure to use the best you can find.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can lead to a tough, dense cake, so be careful not to overmix the batter. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the cake is fully baked.
  • Let the cake cool completely before assembling the trifle: This will help to prevent the cake from becoming soggy.
  • Use a variety of textures and flavors in your trifle: The combination of soft cake, creamy pudding, crunchy nuts, and fresh fruit will create a delicious and visually appealing trifle.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors: There are many different ways to make a trifle, so feel free to get creative and try different flavor combinations.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin butterscotch gingerbread trifle is a delicious and festive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its layers of moist cake, creamy pudding, crunchy nuts, and fresh fruit, this trifle is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this recipe a try.
