My review
Eggnog Gingerbread Trifle
Jen Graham
"Combining two of the holiday season's best flavors, this dessert is easy to make and a crowd pleaser! If you are feeling fancy, you can pipe your top layer of whipped cream on the trifle. Since I normally travel with this dessert and put a lid on it, I just spread a nice thick layer on top and then sprinkle with some chopped dried cranberries and crumbled gingerbread cookies."

Ready In
- Prepare gingerbread cake mix and bake according to package directions (any size pan). Cool completely.
- Place the pudding mix in a large bowl. Pour in the eggnog and whisk for about 2 minutes. Refrigerate pudding until the gingerbread cake is cool and you are ready to assemble the trifle.
- In a large bowl, whip cream until stiff peaks are just about to form. Beat in sugar and vanilla until peaks form.
- Crumble 1/2 of the gingerbread into the bottom of a trifle bowl or a large glass bowl. Spread 1/2 of the eggnog pudding over the gingerbread, then spread 1/2 of the whipped cream on top of the pudding. Repeat the layers with the remaining gingerbread, pudding, and whipped cream. Refrigerate 6 hours or overnight. Sprinkle the top with the cranberries and cookie crumbs before serving.
Footnotes
- Cook's Notes:
- You can use already made whipped cream, but I prefer to flavor my whipped cream myself. You can substitute bourbon for the vanilla extract in the whipped cream if you like.
- If you use low-fat eggnog for the pudding, your pudding will be loose.

I was really excited to make this for Christmas dinner. It was good, but not great. In fact, it was barely touched :(

I am not great with guessing volume - so I measured. For presentation this recipe requires a 10 cup bowl to fill to the brim.

This was good but the eggnog was a little overpowering. I think next time I make it I will use half eggnog and half milk for the pudding.

This is REALLY very, very tasty. I brought an empty bowl home from the company Christmas party. I love the eggnog pudding, and next time I might double the pudding part because it was so good.

Very good holiday dessert! I made it as written, it was perfect! I think this could become a family tradition.
