📝 Preparation Steps
1
Prepare the gingerbread cake according to the package directions in a 9-inch or 8-inch square baking pan. Let the cake cool completely, then cut it into 1-inch cubes.
2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the pudding mix and milk until smooth and thickened, about ⏱️ 2 minutes. Let stand for ⏱️ 5 minutes to set. Place the dulce de leche in another medium bowl.

3
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla on medium-high speed until smooth and fluffy, 2 to ⏱️ 3 minutes. Add the heavy cream and continue beating until stiff peaks form, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed, 2 to ⏱️ 3 minutes. Transfer 1 1/4 cups of the whipped cream to an airtight container and refrigerate to use later for the topping.
4
Divide the remaining whipped cream evenly between the pudding and dulce de leche bowls, adding it gradually and gently folding it in with a rubber spatula to incorporate.

In a trifle dish or large glass bowl, layer half of the cake cubes, half of the vanilla cream, and half of the dulce de leche whipped cream. Sprinkle on the cookie crumbs. Repeat with the remaining cake cubes, vanilla cream, and dulce de leche cream. Cover and refrigerate for at least ⏱️ 2 hours and up to overnight.
