Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 box (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 angel food cake, cut into cubes

Wet Ingredients

  • 1½ cups cold milk
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
  • 1 can (21 oz) strawberry pie filling

Optional Garnish

  • Fresh strawberries for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare Pudding Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix, cold milk, and sour cream until the mixture is smooth and thick. Set this aside to allow it to slightly thicken further while you prepare the other layers.
  2. Layer Angel Food Cake: In a 9×13-inch baking dish, arrange half of the angel food cake cubes evenly across the bottom to form the first layer.
  3. Add Strawberry Pie Filling: Spoon half of the strawberry pie filling over the layer of cake cubes, spreading it evenly to cover the surface.
  4. Spread Pudding Mixture: Carefully spread half of the pudding mixture over the pie filling layer, smoothing it out gently to create an even layer without mixing the layers.
  5. Repeat Layers: Repeat the process by layering the remaining angel food cake cubes, followed by the remaining strawberry pie filling and then the remaining pudding mixture over the top.
  6. Add Whipped Topping: Spread the thawed whipped topping evenly over the entire layered dessert for a creamy finish.
  7. Chill to Set: Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. This chilling time allows the layers to meld together and the pudding to firm up for the best texture and flavor.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, garnish with fresh strawberries if desired to add a fresh burst of flavor and a colorful presentation.

Notes

  • For best results, use cold milk to ensure the pudding mix thickens properly.
  • Refrigerating overnight intensifies the flavors and improves texture.
  • Fresh strawberries add natural sweetness and decoration but can be omitted if unavailable.
  • This dessert is best served chilled and consumed within 2-3 days.
  • You can substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a tangier flavor.
