The method

Step by step

1
Arrange half of the angel food cake pieces in an even layer in the bottom of a 2-quart serving dish.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: A glass trifle bowl or a deep square baking dish works well to show off the layers.
2
In a large mixing bowl, add the vanilla instant pudding mix and the milk.
About 1 min
3
Whisk the pudding and milk together for about 2 minutes until it is smooth and begins to thicken.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: Make sure there are no dry lumps of pudding mix remaining.
4
Add the sour cream to the thickened pudding and gently fold it in with a spatula until just combined.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: Avoid overmixing to keep the mixture light and airy.
5
Gently fold the larger portion of cherry pie filling into the cream mixture, creating swirls rather than mixing it completely.
About 1 min
6
Spoon half of the cherry cream mixture over the angel food cake in the dish.
About 1 min
7
Top with the remaining angel food cake pieces to create a second layer.
About 1 min
8
Spread the rest of the cherry cream mixture evenly over the top layer of cake.
About 2 min
9
Dollop the reserved cherry pie filling for garnish over the top.
About 1 min
10
Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least one hour before serving to allow the dessert to set.
About 1 hr
Cook’s note: Chilling longer, up to 4 hours, will enhance the flavor and texture.
