Pumpkin Praline TrifleTim Morris

A pretty centerpiece dessert that's a cross between a trifle and tiramisù. To give the flavors time to meld, youll need to put the trifle together at least one day ahead, but it tastes best when made two days ahead. Any leftover praline would be terrific sprinkled over ice cream.
