• 1 ½ cups cold milk

Instructions

1. Prepare the Base:

• Tear or cut the angel food cake into 1-inch cubes.

2. Make the Cream Layer:

• In a large bowl, vigorously whisk the instant vanilla pudding mix with the cold milk for about 2 minutes until it begins to thicken.

• Add the Greek yogurt and fold in until the mixture is smooth and uniform.

3. Assemble the First Layers:

• Spread half of the angel food cake cubes in an even layer on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.

• Spoon about two-thirds of the cherry pie filling over the cake layer, spreading it as evenly as possible.

4. Build the Remaining Layers:

• Scatter the remaining cake cubes over the cherry layer.

• Pour the pudding and yogurt mixture over the top, gently spreading it to the edges to cover all the cake pieces.

• Carefully spread the thawed whipped topping over the pudding layer.

5. Garnish and Set:

• Dollop the remaining cherry pie filling over the whipped topping and use a knife or skewer to gently swirl it for a marbled effect.

• Sprinkle with slivered almonds for a final touch.

• Cover and refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the cake to soften.

Serve chilled and enjoy a slice of heaven!
