Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole angel food cake
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups heavy whipping cream
- 21 ounces blueberry pie filling or cherry pie filling
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional, for whipping cream)
Instructions
Tear the angel food cake into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese, and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. If desired, add granulated sugar for sweetness while whipping.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula until fully combined, creating a light and creamy filling.
In a 9x13-inch dish, layer half of the angel food cake pieces evenly across the bottom.
Spread half of the cream cheese mixture over the cake pieces, smoothing it out with an offset spatula or the back of a spoon.
Evenly spread half of the blueberry or cherry pie filling over the cream cheese layer.
Repeat the layers with the remaining cake pieces, cream cheese mixture, and fruit filling.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled, and enjoy a slice of this light and fruity dessert.
