1 cup sour cream (or plain Greek yogurt)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pack (30 ounces) cherry pie filling
1 container (8 ounces) whipped topping, chilled
1 tablespoon sliced almonds, toasted (optional for garnish)
Instructions:
Prepare the Base: Begin by cutting the angel food cake into cubes. Set these aside for layering later.
Mix the Pudding: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the instant cheesecake pudding mix, milk, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), and vanilla extract until well combined. Set this creamy mixture aside.
Layer the Cake: In a 13×9 inch baking dish, start your first layer by placing half of the cake cubes evenly at the bottom.
Add Cherry Pie Filling: Spoon half of the cherry pie filling over the first layer of cake cubes, spreading it to cover.
Repeat Layers: Add the remaining cake cubes on top of the cherry layer, followed by the rest of the cherry pie filling.
Spread Pudding Mixture: Pour the prepared pudding mixture over the top of the cake and cherry layers, smoothing it out to evenly cover the cake.
Top with Whipped Topping: Gently spoon the whipped topping over the pudding layer, covering the entire surface of the cake.
Chill: Refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours, allowing it to set and the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Garnish and Serve: Just before serving, sprinkle toasted sliced almonds over the top for a bit of crunch and added elegance (optional).
