Pumpkin Praline Trifle
A few notes:
- For the praline crumble I used store bought granola and crushed it to a coarse crumb and then added some praline bits to it..
- To keep the praline crumble crisp, do not assemble trifle more than 2 hours in advance.
- For a step-by-step tutorial with pictures to making homemade pudding click here.
- You can use store bought stir and serve vanilla pudding mixture then add ¾ cups of pumpkin pie filling to the pudding. But it doesn’t taste nearly as good. I found it overly sweet, but if you aren’t doing a head-to-head taste test like I did, you may not feel the same way about homemade pudding vs box pudding.
