This Oreo Pumpkin Trifle Dessert is perfect for upcoming holiday meals, including Thanksgiving. It is made with an Oreo crust, pumpkin mousse, and whipped cream. Don’t you just want to dive into this? This could become your new favorite pumpkin dessert for the Fall season.

Remember this dessert? My PUMPKIN MOUSSE served in a chocolate drizzled Martini glass with candied pecans?. Well, it’s still a favorite but I thought it was time to give a bit of an update. It was part of the inspiration for the Oreo Pumpkin Trifle Dessert.

If you are looking for a unique dessert to share with family and friends for the holidays, this is it. Make a day ahead of time as a time saver, then add fresh whipped cream and crumbled Oreos last minute.

A trifle bowl is a great serving dish to have if you don’t have one yet. I’ve included a link here for you to check out which is similar to mine.

I love to use these for any layered desserts and salads.

If you don’t have a trifle bowl, any taller bowl, even the bowls which remind you of fish bowls will work well.

A few alternate ideas for serving this Oreo Pumpkin Trifle is in individual servings.

Contents Make in Mini Parfait Glasses

Inspired from one of our favorite restaurants, Seasons 52, these small desserts are great for when you want just a bite of something sweet after a meal.

Whipped topping could be added to these also. Garnish with Mini-Oreos or crushed Oreos.

Make them ahead of time also and put on your buffet table so everyone can have a few bites.

As always, remember to Pin this for later ideas and to grab the recipe.

Here’s a link to glasses which not exactly like mine since they are no longer available.

Even plastic ones for a large group – no washing dishes

MASON JARS


Small mason jars are also a great way to prepare these ahead of time. This is convenient for any holiday gathering or maybe an office party.

Crushing Oreos is much easier with a food processor. If you don’t have one, place the Oreos in a Zip-Lock bag and crush with a rolling pin.

I keep crushed Oreos on hand (without butter) to use as a topping on ice cream. And it makes a great garnish on any chocolate dessert. If butter is added, you will need to refrigerate.

Simple Layered Ice Cream Cake

Here’s another great dessert to use crushed Oreos.

Tips
  • I usually make the whipped topping with a little less sugar when using on a sweeter dessert like this.The pumpkin mixture can be made ahead of time (before adding the whipped cream) and refrigerate.Layer in mason jars or mini parfait glasses as desired.This recipe could easily be made in half if doing a smaller amount of jars or parfait glasses.Adapted from Pumpkin Mousse With Candied Pecans and Chocolate
