Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Gingerbread: If using homemade gingerbread, bake it according to your favorite recipe and cool completely. Crumble the gingerbread into uniform pieces.
  2. Make the Pumpkin Layer: Combine pumpkin puree with nutmeg and cinnamon in a bowl. In another bowl, whip cream until soft peaks form, then fold into the pumpkin mixture.
  3. Layer the Trifle: In a trifle dish, layer crumbled gingerbread, followed by pumpkin mixture and butterscotch sauce. Repeat until you've used all ingredients, finishing with the pumpkin layer.
  4. Top with Whipped Cream: Finish with a layer of whipped cream, creating soft peaks. Garnish with toasted nuts or butterscotch sauce if desired.
  5. Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for best flavor melding.
