Yes please. A pumpkin pie pudding trifle dessert that is more than delicious.
Are you a fan of banana pudding? You know the one with layers of banana pudding, vanilla wafers, banana slices, and the addition of cool whip? I am a huge fan of banana pudding and wanted to try out a fall-inspired version. Of course, pumpkin pie pudding in place of the banana pudding came into mind. I am more than glad that I went for this version. This pumpkin pie pudding trifle is more than delicious!
A new use for that can of pumpkin pie mix.
I love a easy recipe that turns out yummy. This has normally been the case when I go for the canned pumpkin pie mix. This specific canned pumpkin pie mix brings so much flavor without any extra ingredients. It was no wonder that I was going to use it in this version of banana pudding.
I tried to keep it as similar to the original banana pudding as I could. I think it did a pretty good job keeping it as close to the classic recipe
Banana Pudding without all the bananas
As I write this I am telling myself how crazy it is that I went for this banana pudding recipe idea without all the bananas. I just wrote a recipe about a Banana Bread with Cream Cheese Filling, and here I am switching up another banana recipe. If you did not know by now, I love a good banana recipe.
I also love all the pumpkin recipes too. I have found that like bananas, pumpkin does great as a substitute. These brownies are a great example and are really good! So here we are with another pumpkin substitute idea: pumpkin instead of bananas.
Lastly, the Vanilla wafers are a must.
Do not, I repeat, do not skip on the vanilla wafers. They are a must in this layered pumpkin pie pudding trifle. They are what give the layers that extra vanilla flavor as well as a great texture. I have yet to find a good substitute for these. If you have an idea, let me know!
