Heaven on Earth Cake

Posted on July 31, 2025
Here’s a heavenly dessert that lives up to its name β€” Heaven on Earth Cake! This easy no-bake (or minimal-bake) layered dessert combines cake, cherries, creamy pudding, and whipped topping for a light, luscious, and crowd-pleasing treat.


πŸ’πŸ° Heaven on Earth Cake

πŸ§‚ Ingredients (Serves 8–10)

  • 1 (16 oz) angel food cake, cubed (store-bought or homemade)

  • 1 (21 oz) can cherry pie filling

  • 1 (3.4 oz) box instant vanilla pudding mix

  • 1Β½ cups cold milk

  • 1 cup sour cream (or plain Greek yogurt)

  • 1 (8 oz) tub Cool Whip (or whipped cream)

  • Optional garnish: sliced almonds, extra pie filling, cherries, or white chocolate shavings


πŸ‘©β€πŸ³ Instructions

βœ… Step 1: Prepare the Pudding

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together instant pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes.

  2. Once it starts to thicken, stir in the sour cream until smooth. Chill briefly while prepping the cake.

βœ… Step 2: Assemble the Layers

  1. In a 9×13 inch baking dish, spread half of the cubed angel food cake on the bottom.

  2. Spoon half of the cherry pie filling over the cake cubes.

  3. Add the rest of the cake cubes in a second layer.

  4. Pour the pudding mixture evenly over the top and spread gently to cover.

  5. Top with the entire tub of Cool Whip, spreading it into an even layer.

  6. Spoon or drizzle the remaining cherry pie filling on top for color and flavor.

βœ… Step 3: Chill & Serve

  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to let the flavors blend and the texture firm up.


πŸ“ Tips & Variations:

  • Don’t like cherries? Use blueberry, strawberry, or peach pie filling instead!

  • For a tangy twist, mix some cream cheese into the pudding layer.

  • Add a layer of crushed graham crackers or vanilla wafers between the cake and pudding for extra texture.

  • Want more β€œheaven”? Drizzle with sweetened condensed milk before adding Cool Whip.
