Anyone else planning their Thanksgiving menu yet? Or is it just me and my mom that plan weeks in advance? Who’s with me?
So you know that I love trying new recipes. Last year I tried a new recipe for this Pumpkin Bread Trifle. There are no words…except…head to the store and get all the ingredients. Believe me, you won’t be disappointed.
This recipe is amazing. I wish I could take credit for it but I ripped it out of a magazine last year. It’s from Better Homes & Gardens.
Pumpkin Bread Trifle
Ingredients:
- 3 3/4 cups granulated sugar
- 1 15-oz. can pumpkin
- 1 cup of vegetable oil
- 4 eggs
- 3 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp. baking soda
- 2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
- 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
- 2 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 8-oz. carton sour cream
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 Tbsp. bourbon or milk
Optional:
- Caramel ice cream topping
- Pomegranate seeds
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350F. Grease bottoms and 2 inches up sides of two 9×5″ loaf pans.
- In a large bowl stir together 3 cups granulated sugar, the pumpkin, oil, 2/3 cup water, and the eggs until combined. In a medium bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and 1 tsp. salt. Stir into pumpkin mixture. Spoon into prepared pans. Bake 1 hour or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool in pans on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pans; let cool completely.
- Grease a baking sheet. Place pecans close together in a single layer on a prepared sheet pan. In a small saucepan bring 3 Tbsp water and remaining 3/4 cup granulated sugar to boiling, without stirring, over medium. Cook, without stirring, 6 minutes or until golden, brushing pan sides with water to prevent crystals from forming. Pour over pecans. Let cool; break into pieces.
- In a bowl beat heavy cream, sour cream, powdered sugar, and bourbon with mixer on high until stiff peaks form.
- Cut one loaf into 1-inch pieces cubes. (Freeze the second loaf up to 1 month) In a large trifle dish make three layers of bread cubes, pecans, cream, and, if desired, pomegranate seeds and caramel ice cream topping.
- Serve immediately or chill up to 8 hours. Makes 16 servings.
