Strawberry Heaven On Earth (Printable Version)

No-bake layers of angel food cake, vanilla pudding, and vibrant strawberry filling create a light, luscious treat.

# Everything You’ll Need:

→ Cake

01 - 1 store-bought angel food cake, cut into 1-inch cubes

→ Filling

02 - 1 (21 oz) can strawberry pie filling

→ Pudding Mixture

03 - 1 (3.4 oz) package instant vanilla pudding mix
04 - 1½ cups cold milk
05 - 1 cup sour cream

→ Topping

06 - 1 (8 oz) tub whipped topping, thawed

→ Garnish

07 - Fresh strawberries, optional

# Steps to Cook:

01 - Whisk instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk in a large bowl until thickened, approximately 2 minutes. Stir in sour cream until smooth and set aside.
02 - Arrange half of the angel food cake cubes evenly in a 9x13-inch dish.
03 - Spread half of the strawberry pie filling gently over the cake cubes.
04 - Pour half of the pudding mixture over the strawberry layer and spread evenly.
05 - Layer the remaining cake cubes, followed by the remaining strawberry filling and pudding mixture, spreading each layer evenly.
06 - Spread the whipped topping over the entire surface and smooth with a spatula.
07 - Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow layers to set.
08 - Garnish with fresh strawberries if desired. Cut into squares and serve chilled.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream for a tangier flavor. Best prepared a day ahead to enhance flavor melding. Store covered in the refrigerator up to 3 days. Not suitable for freezing due to texture changes.
02 - Experiment with alternative pie fillings such as blueberry, cherry, or mango for variation.
