❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE
We love holiday recipes and we love them even more when they are super easy! This is one of those and it’s delicious. It’s no bake, takes absolutely no time to put together. The longest part of the process is letting it chill in the fridge for an hour. I think the longer this is in the refrigerator the better it is!
SWAPS & ADDITIONS
You can switch out the whipping cream with whole milk. You can switch out the pie filling, many people love this recipe with blueberry. If you are not a fan of angel food cake, you can make a white cake (with a mix) and cut it into squares. You could sprinkle coconut on top!
QUESTIONS AND OTHER VARIATIONS
Yes, you can make this in advance. It’s better the next day. You can also make this with low-fat cream cheese, low-fat Cool Whip, and low-fat pie filling (or sugar-free).
Want to make this a display piece for your holiday? Make it in a trifle bowl and layer the angel food cake and the pie filling. You can also serve this in individual parfait glasses or cute holiday mugs.
