Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 baked angel food cake
- 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 (16 ounce) frozen whipped topping, thawed
- 2 (20 ounce) cans cherry pie filling
Instructions
- Prepare the Cake: Cut the baked angel food cake into approximately 1-inch pieces to create bite-sized chunks for layering.
- Make the Creamy Mixture: Using a mixer, blend the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Then, fold in the thawed whipped topping gently until well combined.
- Assemble the Dessert: Spread the creamy mixture evenly in a 9 x 13 inch baking dish. Layer the angel food cake pieces evenly on top of the creamy base. Finally, spread the cherry pie filling over the cake pieces to complete the layers.
- Chill and Serve: Serve immediately for a soft-textured dessert, or cover and refrigerate until chilled and set, which allows the flavors to meld. Serve cold for best taste.
Notes
- If fresh cherries are available, you can substitute fresh cherry topping for a fresher taste.
- For a lighter version, use low-fat cream cheese and sugar-free pie filling.
- The angel food cake can be prepared from scratch or store-bought for convenience.
- This dessert is best served chilled but can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- You can also add a sprinkle of toasted almonds on top for added texture and nutty flavor.
