Ingredients
  

  • 1 store-bought angel food cake or homemade, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 3.4 oz package instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 ½ cups cold milk
  • 1 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt for a lighter option
  • 1 21 oz can strawberry pie filling
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries sliced (or frozen, thawed)
  • 1 8 oz tub whipped topping, thawed (or homemade whipped cream)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract optional, for extra flavor
  • Fresh mint leaves optional, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the pudding layer: In a large bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix, cold milk, and sour cream until smooth. Let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
  • Cube the angel food cake: Cut the angel food cake into 1-inch cubes.
  • Assemble the first layer: In a 9x13-inch glass dish, spread half of the angel food cake cubes evenly across the bottom. Spoon half of the pudding mixture over the cake, spreading it to cover.
  • Add the strawberry layer: Gently fold half of the strawberry pie filling and fresh sliced strawberries into the dish, spreading them evenly over the pudding layer.
  • Repeat the layers: Add the remaining angel food cake cubes, followed by the rest of the pudding mixture. Top with the remaining strawberry pie filling and fresh strawberries.
  • Top with whipped cream: Spread the whipped topping evenly over the top layer. Swirl with a spatula for decorative peaks.
  • Chill and serve: Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight). Garnish with fresh strawberries or mint leaves before serving. Slice and serve chilled.

Notes

  • Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Substitutions: Swap strawberries for peaches or blueberries for a different flavor. Use sugar-free pudding and whipped topping for a low-sugar version.
  • Make It Ahead: Prepare the day before for best flavor melding.
  • Gluten-Free Option: Use a gluten-free angel food cake.
  • Add Texture: Sprinkle crushed vanilla wafers or nuts between layers for a crunchy twist.
