Pumpkin Roll Trifle – An elegant fall dessert that’s perfect to feed a crowd! Gorgeous layers of pumpkin roll, crushed gingersnaps, pumpkin mousse, and whipped cream!

So this pumpkin roll trifle is just phenomenal! I am so happy with how everything about this trifle turned out! This was my very first time making a trifle, and I was so excited to get to share this incredible dessert with friends! With fall season in full swing, I have been looking forward to getting my first pumpkin roll of the season but this year, I wanted to do something special with it, something creative and over the top, so I decided to making a Pumpkin Roll Trifle with it!

This may be surprising, but this dessert is actually really easy to make! I am already on planning on making it again for Thanksgiving because it is such an awesome way to feed a crowd! All you have to do it slice up the pumpkin roll, whip up the pumpkin mousse, crush some gingersnaps, and layer everything.  Make sure you have a trifle dish before you make this!

To get everything I needed to make the trifle, I popped over to my local Walmart and grabbed a The Bakery at Walmart Pumpkin Cake Roll with Cream Cheese Filling and Reddi–wip®! Those were essential items for this recipe and really easy to find with the Pumpkin Roll being located right in the refrigerated section of the bakery and the Reddi-wip in the refrigerated dairy section.

As soon as I got home, I got right to work on making the trifle up! I topped it with caramel sauce and if you have the time to make some homemade, I highly suggest! It really brings out the flavors of the Pumpkin Roll in the trifle wonderfully!

3. Place 2 cups of whipped topping on top of the Pumpkin Roll slices at the bottom of the dish. smoothing it around a bit with a spoon to make sure it is even.
4. The next layer is some of the crushed gingersnaps. Sprinkle 1 cup of the gingersnaps on top of the whipped topping layer.
5. Transfer the pumpkin mousse from the mixing bowl into the trifle dish, smoothing it around a bit with a spoon to make sure it is even.
6. Sprinkle the remaining gingersnaps evenly on top of the pumpkin mousse.
