Style Inspired Recipe Pumpkin Cheesecake Trifle with Dark Chocolate dessert recipeAfter seeing the warm, cozy sweater layered with the chic trench coat I was inspired to make a dessert that was both comforting and modern at the same time. I layered dark chocolate, cheesecake and pumpkin whipped cream to create this style-inspired fall dessert, which offers a nice alternative to a traditional pumpkin pie. Whether you use a traditional trifle dish or layer it in individual glasses like I do, this dessert makes for a beautiful and delicious addition to your holiday spread. To make your day a little less hectic, this dessert can even be made up to 24 hours in advance––allowing you to sit back, relax, and enjoy a tasty holiday season.

Hi, I'm Kacey and I like to cook. A few years ago I started on my journey to be a bit healthier and care about what I was putting into my body more. I started to cook a few times a week and that grew into cooking everyday. I loved researching recipes and coming up with my own twist on them. After a while I began coming up with my own creations and wanted to share them. I started my blog, kaceytess.com, after a year or so of trial and error. I wanted to share healthy recipes with everyone and show that you don’t have to be a chef to make amazing tasting and lovely looking dishes. One of my favorite parts of cooking is that last step, plating. It makes such a big difference when you’re not only eating something that tastes good but looks good too. This is where you get to be creative and I love it.
