Pumpkin Bread Trifle

The top is covered with candied pecans.

The trifle dish is layered with pumpkin bread and

the enriched whip cream.

Upon serving, you can add caramel sauce, or a liquor, or 

brittle chips, 

or as I did here, broken chunks of honeycomb candy.

Adding a topping, especially one with texture, gives not 

only a beautiful presentation, but is an added

crunch when eating the trifle.

This is a great do ahead recipe, and can be assembled

shortly before serving, or if you have space in the refrigerator, can

be assembled up to 8 hours ahead. 

This was the easiest of all my Thanksgiving desserts, and it was a 

huge hit!  I think with all the whip cream and spiced up pumpkin bread, 

and lastly the homemade honeycomb candy, everyone enjoyed

the variety it was from just having pie.

As Always,

ENJOY!
