Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (3.4 ounces) instant vanilla pudding
- 1 ½ cups milk (whole or 2%, or half-and-half for richer flavor)
- 1 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
- 1 pre-made angel food cake (14 oz), cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling
- 1 tub (8 ounces) whipped topping (Cool Whip)
- 2 tablespoons toasted slivered almonds
Instructions
- Prepare the vanilla pudding by whisking the instant pudding mix with milk. Let it sit for a few minutes until thickened.
- Fold in the sour cream (or Greek yogurt) to create a rich and creamy pudding mixture.
- In a large trifle dish or serving bowl, layer half of the cubed angel food cake at the bottom.
- Spread half of the pudding mixture over the cake cubes, followed by half of the cherry pie filling.
- Repeat the layers with the remaining cake, pudding, and cherry pie filling.
- Top the cake with whipped topping and garnish with toasted slivered almonds.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of almond or vanilla extract to the pudding mixture.
- Use fresh cherries instead of canned cherry pie filling for a fresher, tart flavor.
