EQUIPMENT

▢
9x13-inch baking pan
▢
Mixing bowl
▢
Whisk

INGREDIENTS

1 (3.4oz) box instant vanilla pudding unprepared
1½ cups whole milk
1 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
14 ounces angel food cake cut into 1-inch cubes, we use storebought
1 (21 oz) can blueberry pie filling
8 ounce Cool Whip thawed
3 tablespoons almond slivers

INSTRUCTIONS

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding, milk, and sour cream until smooth and it begins to thicken. Set aside.
1 (3.4oz) box instant vanilla pudding, 1½ cups whole milk, 1 cup sour cream
Cut the angel food cake into 1-inch cubes and then evenly layer half of it into the bottom of the baking pan.
14 ounces angel food cake
Spread about ⅔ of the pie filling on top of the cake and then layer the remaining angel food cake over it.
1 (21 oz) can blueberry pie filling
Evenly spread all of the vanilla pudding mixture over the cake layer and then top it with the Cool Whip. Make sure to spread them over the top of the entire cake.
8 ounce Cool Whip
Drop spoonfuls of the remaining pie filling over the cake. You can use a butter knife or a skewer to swirl the pie filling around. Try to make sure each slice will get a good amount.
1 (21 oz) can blueberry pie filling
Place in the refrigerator uncovered to chill for 4 to 6 hours or overnight. Refrigerating it will help the layers to set and let the flavors develop.
Right before serving, sprinkle with slivered almonds.
3 tablespoons almond slivers

NOTES

Tips and Tricks:
- Cutting The Cake – When cutting the angel food cake, do so with a serrated knife in a sawing motion. This simple technique will ensure that the cake pieces don’t lose their airy, fluffy texture from being smooshed when they get cut!
- Toppings – The top of this cake is truly beautiful, with its deep blue color popping against the white cool whip! Dress the appearance up even more by dropping spoonfuls of the filling onto the cool whip and then using a skewer or knife to swirl them together.
- Chilling – Don’t skip out on chilling this dessert! The chill time is where the cake layers set while the cake pieces become moister from soaking up the moisture from the vanilla and blueberry.
- Adding Extra – For thicker layers, add an extra half of angel food cake. You can also add extra pie filling to spread in the center of the cake. Just be careful not to use too much filling, or the cake may become too sweet!
- Choose Your Serving Dish – The colors and layers of this recipe really make it one worth showing off! When following this recipe as is, it fills a 9X13 baking dish. However, you can also use a trifle bowl or even mason jars for individual servings.
Variations To Try:
- Pie Fillings – Swap out canned blueberry filling for another flavor of your choice! Cherry, raspberry, strawberry, or even apple would all be tasty in this heaven on earth cake!
- Pudding Flavor – Instead of vanilla pudding, you can try lemon pudding! The combination of blueberry and lemon would be refreshingly delicious! Chocolate lovers may also want to try this dessert with chocolate pudding!
- Filling Options – Instead of pie filling, homemade jams or jellies can be used for filling!
- Fresh Fruit – Cleaned, chopped, fresh fruit can be used in place of canned filling. This would bring a wonderfully fresh taste to this dessert!
How To Store: If you have any leftovers, you can either transfer them to an airtight container or tightly wrap the dish with plastic wrap. Afterward, transfer them to the refrigerator and enjoy the leftovers for up to 2 days. I find any longer than 2 days, the cake starts to become soggy.
Can I Make Ahead? Yes, this is actually the perfect make-ahead recipe! When it sits overnight, the cake soaks up the creamy vanilla layer as well as the blueberry filling. This results in a more flavorful dessert that’s extra moist and delicious!
Is It Hard To Serve? Not at all, as there’s no knife needed! For easy serving, just use a spatula or a spoon to scoop it out of the dish. The portions can be served on plates or bowls, whichever you prefer!
Can This Recipe Be Doubled? Of course! To double the recipe, you’ll want to use a 5.1-ounce packet of instant vanilla pudding, 2 cups of whole milk, and 1 1/2 cups of sour cream OR Greek yogurt. As well as two 14-ounce angel food cakes, 32 ounces of blueberry filling, and 12 ounces of cool whip. Once doubled, you’ll want to layer the ingredients in a 10X15 baking dish!
