Source: insanelygoodrecipes.com

  • 1 pre-baked 9-inch angel food cake
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1⁄2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1⁄2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 12 ounces Cool Whip, thawed
  • 1 (21-ounce) can cherry pie filling or strawberry pie filling


Cut the angel food cake into 1-inch cubes and set aside. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually mix in the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined. Gently stir the thawed Cool Whip into the cream cheese mixture until just incorporated. In a trifle dish or 9×13 inch pan, place a layer of angel food cake cubes to cover the bottom. Spread half of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cake cubes. Then spoon half of the cherry pie filling over the cream layer. Repeat layers with the remaining cake cubes, cream mixture, and cherry pie filling. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together. To serve, scoop out portions so each serving contains all the delicious layers.
