Pumpkin Maple Amaretto Trifle ~ Sumptuous Spoonfuls #easy #pumpkin #dessert #recipe

A whipped cream lover’s delight … layers of pumpkin maple amaretto infused mascarpone cheese with angel food cake squares and amaretto whipped cream.


I’ve made this trifle twice now … once for my friend at work who recently had a birthday, but I didn’t photograph it that day, so I HAD to make it again. I decided to make it for my dear friend and yoga teacher that I rarely see anymore. She hasn’t been teaching yoga because her new yoga studio is under construction. But she and her husband always have a big Halloween bash and I thought my new guy would love meeting my yoga friend and would totally love the party. I also know my yoga friend and how she loves treats and I knew she would love the trifle. So I thought these things all needed to coincide.

So we dropped off daughter at her teen party and we went to my friend’s house. He wasn’t so sure about this, but once we got there, we both had a blast dancing to Halloween music, hanging out by the fire, chatting with the people there, handing out candy to all the trick or treaters, and eating pumpkin trifle. He was dressed up as a cowboy and I in my Ren Fest garb with my dragon on my shoulder. We had such fun. That damn man better not run away and break my heart …

Everyone at the party who tasted the trifle was raving about it … and some were asking if the recipe was online yet. My friend at work had already been asking for the recipe. So I guess I better get it up on the blog!

You could make this trifle even prettier by putting it in individual glasses or bowls if you’re making it at home. It’s so much easier to transport to a party in a glass Pyrex pan, though. It would be the perfect “bring-along” dessert for Thanksgiving.
