Ingredients
- 15 ounces angel food cake prepared, cut into cubes (roughly 1 prepared cake)
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar sifted
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 16 ounces frozen whipped topping Cool Whip, thawed
- 42 ounces cherry pie filling (2) 21 oz cans
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk.
- Fold in the Cool whip, and almond extract until smooth.
- Add the cubes of cake and gently stir to mix.
- Spread in a 9×13 pan.
- Pour the cherry pie filling over the top and spread into an even layer.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or until ready to serve.
Notes
- Soften cream cheese to room temperature before mixing. Cold cream cheese makes lumps.
- Cube angel food cake into bite-sized pieces. They soak up the creamy filling nicely.
- Fold cake gently into the filling. Don't overmix or you'll deflate the fluff.
- Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. The flavors mix together better.
- Make up to 3 days ahead for stress-free entertaining. It holds up perfectly.
- Try different pie fillings to change it up. Blueberry and strawberry are both delicious.
- Serve in a trifle bowl for a stunning centerpiece dessert or make individual parfaits in glass dishes for pretty presentation.
- Add toasted nuts on top right before serving for crunch.
