- Prepare ginger cake mix and bake according to package instructions (any size tin). Cool completely.
- Place the dessert mix in a large bowl. Pour in the eggnog and whisk for about 2 minutes. Refrigerate until the ginger cake is cool and you are ready to assemble the trifle.
- In a large bowl, whip cream until stiff peaks are just about to form. Beat in sugar and vanilla until peaks form.
- Crumble 1/2 of the ginger cake into the bottom of a trifle bowl or a large glass bowl. Spread 1/2 of the eggnog mixture over the ginger cake, then spread 1/2 of the whipped cream on top.
- Repeat the layers with the remaining ginger cake, vanilla dessert and whipped cream. Refrigerate 6 hours or overnight. Sprinkle the top with the cranberries and biscuit crumbs before serving.

I made this for Christmas dinner; it was fantastic! I modified by doubling pudding mixture, and adding nutmeg and cinammon to the whip cream. Also, I couldn't find a gingerbread cake mix so I used a spice cake, and added ground ginger and molasses to it and it tasted just like gingerbread. I also made a praline and crumbled it-anyone that wanted it added some on top of thier trifle. Don't add it before or it won't be crunchy! It was a great addition with a bit of crunch. Definitely will make this one again! - 28 Dec 2009 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
I am not great with guessing volume - so I measured. For presentation this recipe requires a 10 cup bowl to fill to the brim. - 24 Dec 2009 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
I used light eggnog and Cool Whip for this and we absolutely loved it! I also garnished this with a row of gingersnap cookies around the edge right before serving. It looked really pretty, plus it was delicious. - 05 Jan 2011 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
