Ingredients

1 tub Dreyer's French Vanilla ice cream or Edy's® French Vanilla ice cream

1 large box of instant pudding

1 regular tub of whipped topping

3 cups fresh cranberries

1 cup sugar / 2 tablespoons water

1 loaf pound cake

½ cup caramel sauce

1 cup pecans

(Optional) item*

*Tip: add tips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Let the ice cream set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until softened. Add the ice cream to a standing mixer with the instant pudding and whisk until well combined. Mix in the whipped topping and set aside.

Step 2

Add the cranberries, sugar and water to a saucepan and place over medium heat. Slowly cook until the cranberries start to pop and the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes.

Step 3

Cut the pound cake into 1-inch squares.

Step 4

Layer the trifle with the pound cake, caramel sauce, French vanilla mixture, and caramel sauce in 3-4 layers (depending on the size/shape of dish your using) ending with a top layer of pecans.

Step 5

Let set in the fridge for 1 hour. Enjoy!
