Cheesecake trifle is the perfect Thanksgiving dessert. It’s even better because it’s no-bake! No need to share the oven.
No-bake is one of the easiest desserts to make for the holiday season. Anything that can be made without the use of the oven is always a plus. This dessert recipe is full of pumpkin flavor and pairs deliciously with the crunchy gingersnap crust. Don’t worry if you don’t have a fancy parfait or trifle dish. Almost any glass dish will do!
