Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Angel Food Cake (store-bought or homemade) | 1-2 cakes |
| Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix | 1 (3.4 oz) package |
| Milk | 1 1/2 cups |
| Plain Greek Yogurt | 1 cup |
| Cherry Pie Filling | 1 (21 oz) can |
| Frozen Whipped Topping (thawed) | 1 (8 oz) container |
| Almond Slivers (garnish) | As needed |
Instructions:
Prepare the cake: Cube the angel food cake(s) into bite-sized pieces.
Make the pudding mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk until the pudding is smooth.
Add Greek yogurt: Fold the plain Greek yogurt into the pudding mixture until it is smooth and well combined.
Layer the cake:
Spread half of the cubed angel food cake pieces evenly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Top the cake layer with ⅔ of the cherry pie filling, spreading it evenly.
Layer the remaining cake cubes over the cherry pie filling.
Pour the prepared pudding mixture evenly over the top layer of cake cubes, gently spreading it into an even layer.
Add whipped topping and garnish:
Use a rubber or offset spatula to spread the thawed frozen whipped topping evenly over the pudding layer.
Drizzle the remaining cherry pie filling over the whipped topping.
Sprinkle the top with almond slivers (toasted, if desired) as a garnish.
Chill: Place the baking dish in the refrigerator and let the cake set for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the layers to meld and the cake to firm up.
Serve: Once chilled and set, slice the Heaven On Earth Cake into squares and serve. Enjoy this light and fruity dessert!
