These trifles are the perfect way to celebrate the coming fall flavors while the weather is still a bit too warm to be excited about turning on the oven.

No-Bake Desserts are a family favorite year-round, but especially in the warmer months of the year.

A while back, I put together these cute little pumpkin trifles on a whim. They were super easy to make and looked pretty cute too.

The trifles start with a crunchy gingersnap cookie crust, layered with a smooth pumpkin cheesecake and topped with fluffy whipped cream.

The no-bake pumpkin cheesecake filling makes these trifles a breeze to make. So, pin them now to help remember them next time you need a fast dessert!

How To Make Homemade Whipped Cream

1. In a large mixing bowl, beat 2 cups of heavy cream with the whisk attachment of an electric mixer until soft peaks begin to form.
2. Add 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar. Continue beating until stiff peaks form. Use immediately.

Pumpkin Trifle Recipe

1. With an electric mixer, beat the softened cream cheese and brown sugar together until smooth. Add the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla. Beat again until smooth. Fold in 2 cups of whipped cream.
2. To assemble the trifles, divide half of the crumbled cookies into the bottom of four mini trifle dishes or other small dishes. Divide half of the pumpkin cheesecake mixture between the dishes and top with half of the remaining whipped cream. Repeat the layers.
3. Repeat the layers ending with a pretty swirl of whipped cream topped with a whole cookie or additional cookie crumbs.
