Ingredients
- 5 cups angel food cake cut in bite-sized cubes
- 1/4 cup cherry liqueur optional
- 1 cup confectioners sugar
- 3 ounces cream cheese softened
- 8 ounces Cool Whip thawed & divided
- 21 ounce can cherry pie filling
Instructions
- If desired sprinkle with liqueur over cake cubes
- In medium bowl mix confectioners sugar and cream cheese. Beat until well blended.
- Reserve 2 tablespoons of Cool Whip and fold remaining Cool Whip into creamed mixture.
- In a trifle dish make two or three layers of cake cubes, creamed mixture and cherry pie filling.
- Garnish with reserved cool whip.
- Refrigerate at least 3 hours before serving.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened of the heavenly creamy layer will be lumpy
- Thaw whipped topping before mixing
- Whipped topping can be substituted for a can of whipped cream or heavy whipping cream can be mixed up
- Angel food cake can be purchased, made from a box mix or homemade
- I like to cut angel food cake into bite sized cubes and then cut those cubes in half
- Smaller cubes allow for more flavors to mix in every bite
- Other flavors of pie filling may be substituted
- If you don't have a trifle dish ingredients can be mixed together and served in a bowl or pan of an appropriate size
