How to cook deliciously - Spider Trifle

1. Stage

Preheat oven to 350º and grease a 9"-x-13” pan.

2. Stage

Prepare chocolate cake mix according to package directions and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Set aside to cool. When cooled, crumble into bite sized pieces.

3. Stage

Meanwhile, make the pumpkin mousse. In a large bowl using a hand mixer, combine cream cheese and sugar, beat until smooth. Add pumpkin puree, sour cream, vanilla and pumpkin spice and beat again until smooth. Add 2 cups cool whip and fold into pumpkin mixture until fully combined.

4. Stage

Assemble the trifle: lay down a layer of chocolate cake on the bottom of your trifle dish. Top with a layer of pumpkin mixture, a layer of crushed Oreos, and a layer of Cool Whip. Repeat until the trifle is full, ending on cool whip.

5. Stage

Drizzle syrup in a spiral motion from the inside out on the top of the trifle. Using a toothpick, start in the center and drag outward to the edge of the trifle to make a spider’s web. Place spider in the center of the web and place the trifle in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, up to overnight. Serve.
