Remove 1/3 of the whipped cream and transfer it to a mixing bowl. Use a spatula to fold in the pumpkin puree and pumpkin spice blend.
Next, place 1/3rd of the pumpkin loaf cubes into a trifle bowl followed by 1/3rd of the toffee bits and half of the plain whipped cream.
Start the next layer with 1/3rd of the pumpkin loaf cubes, 1/3rd of the toffee bits, and all of the pumpkin-flavoured whipped cream.
Next, build the next layer with the remaining pumpkin loaf cubes, toffee bits, and plain whipped cream. (For garnish, reserve two cubes of the loaf and two teaspoons of the coffee bits. Sprinkle those over the top layer of whipped cream.)
The trifle is ready to serve now, however, you can cover it and refrigerate it for up to 12 hours before serving.
