Gather all your ingredients and set up your workspace. Use a large glass trifle bowl for the best visual effect.
In a mixing bowl, gently fold the spiced pumpkin pudding until smooth and creamy, ready for layering.
Spread a generous layer of the pumpkin pudding at the bottom of the trifle bowl, smoothing it with a spatula until even.
Add a layer of crushed ginger cookies on top of the pudding, pressing them down slightly to soak up the flavors and add crunch.
Repeat the process: add another layer of pumpkin pudding followed by more ginger cookies, building up the layers until nearly full.
Finish with a fluffy layer of whipped heavy cream, spreading it gently over the top to create a soft, cloud-like crown.
Decorate the top with candy eyes, pressing them lightly into the whipped cream for a spooky effect.
Drizzle caramel sauce over the top for a glossy finish, and sprinkle a pinch of edible glitter for a haunted sparkle.
Place the assembled trifle in the fridge and chill for at least 2 hours, allowing flavors to meld and textures to set.
Before serving, add any additional candy eyes or decorations for extra spooky flair.
Serve the trifle chilled, scooping up layers of pudding, cookies, and whipped cream for a festive, messy treat that’s perfect for Halloween!
