Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 store-bought or homemade cake angel food cake
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 21 ounces cherry pie filling
- 0.25 cup slivered almonds (optional)
- 0.5 cup fresh cherries (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Cut the angel food cake into bite-sized cubes and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese, and beat until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and well-incorporated.
In a trifle dish or large serving bowl, layer one-third of the angel food cake cubes evenly on the bottom.
Spread one-third of the cream cheese mixture over the cake cubes to form an even layer.
Spoon one-third of the cherry pie filling over the cream cheese layer.
Repeat the layers two more times, finishing with a layer of cherry pie filling on top.
If desired, sprinkle slivered almonds over the top for some crunch.
Garnish with fresh cherries for decoration, if using.
Chill the dessert in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to let the flavors meld together.
Serve chilled and enjoy your Cherry Angel Dessert!
