Epitome

Orange creamsicles.

Good Humor man.

Sitting in your bathing suit on the curb enjoying ice cream novelties.

Is this not the epitome of summer?

Amy Atlas created this chic, updated version of a summertime favorite ~ Creamsicle Trifle.

I thought it was just the perfect thing to share in these last precious days before school starts…a little {back to school} treat!

Of course, how fun would these be in mason jar individual servings?

Happy Friday!

A “No Butter Involved” Recipe From Paula Deen!

Yes, Boys & Girls, you’re reading that correctly…a recipe from Miss Paula that doesn’t start off and end with a stick of butter!

I saw this Pumpkin Gingerbread Trifle on a show of hers a few years ago and it has held a place in my heart since I laid eyes on it. I’ve threatened to make it every year since, but never have…

until now!

I decided to do single servings in martini glasses instead of a trifle bowl. I also used common sense and halved the recipe!

This really is fairly lowfat in Paula Deen terms.

I used half whole milk and half lowfat in the pudding. I splurged and got the regular Cool-Whip, but the light would be just fine. I’m not sure if “pumpkin pie filling” is the same as a can of straight up Libby’s pumpkin, but that’s what I used. It was plenty sweet with the added brown sugar and vanilla pudding.

Next time I wold love to make this for a larger crowd in my gorgeous trifle bowl from our wedding, but the individual servings were fun, too.

This recipe is Rascal approved!
