This Pumpkin Praline Trifle has been waiting to make it’s appearance on this blog for the last few years.  It’s a dessert I’ve made for the past two Thanksgiving dinners, but I never got around to posting it before the holiday.

But you can be assured that if I made it two years in a row, it was a crowd-pleaser.
Dessert is probably the best part of Thanksgiving in my opinion.  My sister and I each make one or two of them.  We have rules too.  There must always be something pumpkin and at least one chocolate dessert.  Then you need at least one pie.  That way your dessert plate can have a little sample of everything 🙂

This Praline Pumpkin Trifle is great to make the day or night before your Thanksgiving dinner plans too.  Since it involves layers and some cooling time, you need to carve out some time in your day to get the individual components done and then later, you can layer it up and stick it in the fridge!  Dessert done!
