Notes

  • As written the recipe calls for using a store bought angel food cake; however, you can bake your own angel food cake from a boxed mix if you prefer. Although then it wouldn't technically be a 'no bake' dessert anymore. If baking your own cake, be sure to let it cool completely before using as instructed.
  • Be sure to allow the cream cheese to soften to room temperature before using. This step is important so that it blends easily to form the decadent creamy filling.
  • Use your favorite brand of cherry pie filling in this recipe. If you prefer making things from scratch, use our easy pressure cooker cherry pie filling recipe!
