Homemade gnocchi will be light, fluffy and delicate, while the store-bought version will typically be a firmer dumpling, which is better for a dish like this.

This rich and festive gingerbread trifle combines layers of gingerbread cake, creamy custard with Biscoff, whipped cream, and caramel sauce, topped with gingerbread cookies and sprinkles. Perfect for holiday gatherings!
