PUMPKIN GINGER BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Special equipment: 11 by 7-inch baking dish
• For the squash: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Cut the squash in quarters and remove the seeds. Brush the insides with a little oil and arrange on a baking sheet, skin side up. Roast in the preheated oven until the squash is soft all they way through, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let cool. (This can be done 1 or 2 days ahead.) When the squash is cold, remove it from the skin and puree in a food processor. You'll need 2 1/2 cups of squash puree for this recipe. If the mixture is dry while pureeing, add a ladleful of the pudding mixture.
• For the pudding: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, combine the heavy cream, eggs, brown sugar, spices, and vanilla and mix well to combine. Mix in the pumpkin puree. Combine the bread, raisins and ginger in the baking dish. Pour the pudding mixture over the bread to cover and let sit for 15 minutes.
• Cook's Note: You may not use all of the filling. Add more filling if there's room in the dish once the bread has soaked.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the custard is set, about 20 to 25 minutes.
• It's fall in a dessert! To serve, spoon the pudding into bowls and sprinkle a dusting of confectioners' sugar on top.

• Combine the bread, raisins and ginger in a 7-by-11-inch baking dish. Pour the pudding mixture over the bread to cover and let sit 15 minutes.

Spoon into bowls and sprinkle a dusting of confectioners' sugar on top, if desired. It's fall in a dessert.

PAULA'S PUMPKIN GINGERBREAD TRIFLE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven then mix and bake the gingerbread according to the package directions; turn out onto a rack and let cool completely.
• While gingerbread is baking, cook the vanilla pudding according to the package directions; set aside and let cool.
• When pudding has cooled, stir in the pie filling, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cardamom.
• Crumble the cooled gingerbread into pieces (about 1/4 inch, but not too finely).
• (If you have a trifle bowl, wonderful- otherwise you can use another large decorative bowl or a punchbowl to assemble the trifle in).
• Put half of the crumbled gingerbread in the bottom of the bowl, sprinkle with half of the sherry or Southern Comfort (if using), then pour half of the pudding mixture over it, and then half of the whipped topping.
• Repeat the layers with the remaining prepared ingredients as above, then sprinkle the crushed gingersnaps over the top (2 or 3 tablespoons chopped pecans would make a good addition to the topping, as well).
• Cover with plastic wrap and chill overnight in the refrigerator.
• Notes: you can use spice cake instead of gingerbread for a gentler flavor.
