Toasted Pecan Pudding Trifles By Kelly Miller • April22,2016 • Updated December 23, 2020 • Leave a Comment 495 2 Jump to Recipe Layers of sweet pound cake, crunchy toasted pecans and coconut, and creamy vanilla pudding with whipped cream make these mason jar trifles perfect for spring and summer! I look forward to Mother’s Day every year! Yes, of course, because I’m a mom and I get special treatment from my family for the day. But in our area, Mother’s Day is unofficially when most people feel it’s safe to plant flowers and vegetables outside. It means that spring has definitely arrived and summer is on its way! This year I plan on putting in some zinnias in our front yard and a few vegetable plants in containers. Last year I did exactly ZERO gardening because Reuben was giving me a run for my money in my belly! With nausea and blood pressure issues, the LAST place I wanted to be was outside in the heat. The summer before last though, my zinnias took off like crazy. We had lots of caterpillars and butterflies, too – the boys loved it! My mom has always loved gardening and, up until recently, I really could have cared less to join her. At my time of life right now though, it’s such a nice change of pace to get in the garden outside and take something that looked dead and make it look alive again. Every day is filled with laundry, dishes, picking up things, and taking care of kids. With gardening, I get to use my creative energy again and I love it! This beautiful Toasted Pecan Trifle is the perfect treat to prepare for you Mom this Mother’s day! Pack it up in a mason jar and have the kids pick out a pretty potted flower plant and you have the perfect Mother’s Day gift that she will love!
