Caramel Spiced Pumpkin Trifle
This Caramel Spiced Pumpkin Parfait brings your favorite fall flavors together in this incredible 4 layer trifle! Truly a taste of autumn in a glass. A simple recipe that is perfect for individual servings or a big trifle dish for the holidays. This would be perfect for Thanksgiving!
It is the first week of November and all I can think of is fall. As the temperatures in Phoenix finally dip below 90, I am truly craving pumpkin, apples and warm woodsy spices I had a desire, no actually I had a need to enjoy a fall dessert. I swear the pumpkin was calling to me from the nearly bare shelves at the grocery store.
I give you 4 incredible layers of warm autumn flavors that come together to bring you a taste of fall. Layer upon layer of warm, spiced flavors that tickle your tongue and sooth your soul. My 6-year-old and I went crazy on this dessert, although we cut the serving size down quite a bit. It is so amazing I had to save some for later. I have a dish in the fridge for breakfast. Oops. I meant later.
Pumpkin, caramels, graham crackers, cream cheese, heavy cream, brown sugar, butter and fall spices are in these autumn delights. Munchkin and I each devoured our parfaits and I know you are going to love them too.
Enjoy!
With love from our simple kitchen to yours.
