Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 store-bought or homemade (9-inch) Angel food cake
- 21 oz (1 can) Cherry pie filling
- 16 oz Whipped topping
- 8 oz (softened) Cream cheese
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup (optional, for garnish) Almond slices
- 0.25 cup (optional, for garnish) Fresh cherries
Instructions
Cut the angel food cake into bite-sized cubes and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth using an electric mixer.
Gradually add the powdered sugar to the cream cheese, beating well until fully incorporated and creamy.
Stir in the vanilla extract and gently fold in half of the whipped topping until the mixture is light and fluffy.
In a trifle dish or large glass serving bowl, create a layer of angel food cake cubes at the bottom.
Spread a layer of the cream cheese mixture evenly on top of the cake cubes.
Add a layer of cherry pie filling over the cream cheese mixture, spreading it evenly.
Repeat the layers (cake, cream cheese mixture, cherry pie filling) until all the ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of whipped topping on top.
Garnish the top layer with almond slices and fresh cherries, if desired.
Refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the layers to set and flavors to meld.
