This recipe has been around for a long time but I just recently made it and I’m disappointed it took me so long to make as this is super good and very versatile. This is a no bake dessert that is made with simple ingredients that you can change up to your families liking. I made it as written and used cherry pie filling but you can use any pie filling you like! I split this into two 8×8 pans as half of it was being sent into Jim’s national guard unit. The picture below is the picture Jim sent me shortly after he put the dessert out. I’d say they liked it.
I recommend taking the dessert out of the fridge 30 minutes before serving.
INGREDIENTS
1 9 inch pre baked angel food cake
8 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup milk
12 ounces of cool whip-thawed
2 can of cherry pie filling (42 ounces)
DIRECTIONS
In a large bowl whip the cream cheese, powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Gently fold in the whipped topping.
Break the cake into small pieces and add into the whipped mixture and fold to combine. Pour the mixture into a 9×13 inch baking pan spreading evenly. Spread the cherry pie topping on top covering the whipped mixture creating an even layer.
This should be stored in the fridge but taken out of the fridge 30 minutes before serving.
Enjoy!
