Ingredients
Scale
Angel Food Cake
- 22 ounces Angel Food Cake
Whipped Cream
- 1 pint heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Pumpkin Cheesecake
- 16 ounces cream cheese (light preferred)
- 15 ounces pure pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice, plus extra for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare Whipped Cream: In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form. Once whipped, set aside for layering.
- Make Pumpkin Cheesecake Mixture: In a separate medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until it is light and fluffy. Add the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice. Continue beating until all ingredients are thoroughly combined, creating a smooth and creamy mixture. Fold in one third of the prepared whipped cream gently until incorporated.
- Cut Angel Food Cake: Slice the angel food cake into small, bite-sized pieces suitable for layering in the trifle dish.
- Assemble the Trifle: Place one third of the angel food cake pieces at the bottom of the trifle dish. Layer with one third of the pumpkin cheesecake mixture followed by one third of the remaining whipped cream. Repeat this layering process two more times, finishing with the top layer of whipped cream.
- Finish and Chill: Dust the top layer with additional pumpkin pie spice to enhance flavor and presentation. Refrigerate the trifle for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the layers to set and flavors to meld together.
Notes
- Use pure pumpkin puree instead of pumpkin pie filling to control sweetness and texture.
- For best texture, chill the trifle for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Light cream cheese can be used to reduce fat content without sacrificing creaminess.
- Adjust the amount of pumpkin pie spice to taste if you prefer a milder or stronger spice flavor.
