Dawn Hall's Pumpkin Trifle - WICU12/WSEE Erie, PA News, Sports, Weather and Events

This can be used as a dessert and as an edible center piece! Simply insert a tall candle into the top of the dessert, and arrange silk seasonal decorations around the candle.  

1          (10-ounce) angel food cake, cut into bite-size pieces

2          cups pumpkin pie mix (the seasoning is already in this and I use 16-ounces of a 29-ounce can)

4          plus 2 teaspoons finely chopped walnuts

2          (1.7-ounce) packages sugar-free, fat-free instant vanilla pudding mix

1          (8-ounce) package fat-free cream cheese

2          cups fat-free, low-carb milk

4          ounces fat-free dessert whipped topping (half an 8-ounce container)

 Mix the angel food cake, pumpkin pie mix, and 4 teaspoons walnuts in a large bowl.  In a large mixing bowl stir together the vanilla pudding mix, cream cheese, milk, and dessert whipped topping. In a large trifle bowl or large glass bowl put 1 1/3 cups of the pudding mixture on the bottom. Then place 1 1/2 cups of pumpkin mixture on top of the cream mixture. Repeat the layers. Top with 1 1/3 cups of the cream mixture. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 teaspoons chopped walnuts.
