Can I freeze this recipe?

 

 

We don’t recommend freezing this recipe as the consistency would change upon thawing.

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

This recipe needs to sit in the fridge for several hours to soak in all the yummy flavors, so it is best to make it the day before serving.

Can I change the flavor of pie filling?

The cherries are delicious, but you could switch it out for any flavor of pie filling you’d like. Lemon, strawberry, raspberry, and blueberry would all be delicious!

PREP TIME: 15minutes 

TOTAL TIME: 8hours 15minutes

SERVINGS: 10 servings

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 angel food cake, a pre-made cake or bake a boxed angel food cake mix and let it cool
  • 1 can cherry pie filling, 540 milliliters, 18 ounces
  • 1 package 4-serving instant vanilla pudding mix, 102 grams, 3.6 ounces
  • 1½ cups milk, 2%
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 8 ounces Cool Whip
  • sliced almonds, optional garnish

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Cut the cooled angel food cake into cubes about 1 inch in size.
  2. Layer half of the cake pieces evenly in the bottom of a 9×9 cake pan (metal or glass).
  3. Spread ⅔ of the cherry pie filling evenly over the cake.
  4. Layer the last half of the cake cubes over the cherry pie filling.
  5. In a medium bowl stir together the pudding mix, milk, and sour cream until smooth, about 2 minutes. Spread evenly over the top of the cake.
  6. Spread the Cool Whip evenly over top of the pudding layer. Drop and spread the rest of the cherry pie filling over the top.
  7. Place in the fridge and let chill 4 to 5 hours before serving.
  8. Sprinkle slivered almonds on top of the cake before you serve it, optional.

 

NOTES:

  • If you are baking the cake yourself for this recipe, make sure to let it cool fully before cutting it so that it doesn’t make the other ingredients too warm.
  • The best knife to use when cutting angel food cake is one with a serrated blade, it will cut the cake easier, and you won’t lose the airy, fluffy texture of the cake.
  • If you have a trifle bowl and are serving this at a potluck, the trifle bowl would show the fancy layers of this dessert even better.
  • This cake needs at least 4 to 5 hours in the fridge so that the layers of cake can soak up all of the flavors. Overnight is even better.
