This dessert is like eating cheesecake without the crust. it’s smooth, creamy, and ever so flavorful.
Check out what my pals over at Recipe Lion had to say about this recipe:
If you’re a fan of angel food cake and cherry pie filling, then you’re going to fall in love with this simple dessert recipe. Angel Fluff is light and delicious – a dessert that will leave everyone asking for more. This is a lovely treat to add to your Mother’s Day menu this year because it’s so dainty. It is also a festive patriotic dessert because of its red and white coloring. You’ll be able to make this dessert for more than one occasion.
With Christmas right around the corner, I think this delightful angel fluff will be making an appearance on my dessert table. 🙂
Ingredients
1 Duncan Hines angel food cake
1 cup Domino powdered sugar
1 (8 ounce) package low-fat Philadelphia cream cheese, softened
1 container fat-free Cool Whip
1 can (21 ounce) Comstock cherry pie filling
Fisher pecans, optional
Instructions
Start by tearing the angel food cake into small pieces, this would basically make it about 5 cups of torn pieces.
In a medium sized bowl mix the sugar and cream cheese, beating until well blended.
Add in the cool whip, but be sure to reserve about 2oz for the top of the dessert. Go ahead and stir the pecans into the mixture if you choose to use them. Also, stir in the angel food cake pieces.
In a nice large bowl, spoon 1/2 the mixture onto the bottom, top with about 3/4 of the cherry pie filling.
Add the remaining mixture and the last bit of cool whip.
Top with the last of the pie filling and sprinkle with a few more pecans and you have a nice, beautiful dessert. Serve chilled.

Quick Tip: You can make this quick and easy dessert ahead by storing it covered with plastic wrap in the refrigerator.
Thank you to Recipe Lion for this great recipe.
What is Icing sugar
I believe it must be reference to powdered sugar.
Icing Sugar is Powdered Sugar
All looks so good
Would adding blueberrys upset the recipe?
I wonder if you could use another pie filling? We don’t care for cherry. Maybe peach or almost anything but cherry. I get the cherry cheesecake thing but we don’t care for that either. Maybe just skipping this recipe is best but it seems like a nice spring/summer recipe with another fruit.
I have made it with blueberry pie filling. It is delicious! Peach would be great too!
Strawberries!
Hi.
I want to know can I put strawberry Filling instead of cherry pie Filling?
Strawberry, blueberry or whatever you like will work.
Yes you can
Bertha Oliver….What is in icing sugar?
Powdered sugar, also called confectioner’s sugar or icing sugar, is a finely ground sugar made by milling normal granulated sugar into a powdered state.
Just what is fat free Cool Whip- since Cool Whip is an oil product? I’d never use that stuff!
Don’t care for cool whip. Could you use whipped cream? OMGosh, the calories would be uncountable, but who cares? Ha ha. Sounds delish!
That is what I would use.
where i come from its called punch bowl cake cause is made in a huge bowl but use straberries not cherries and use strawberry glaze is delish
Edible oil, not for me. I’ll either use RediWhip or whip my own Whipped Cream.
We are unable to eat Cool Whip. What can be used in place of that?
Thanks
whipped cream
Delicious?
I have made a recipe similar to this. You break up the cake, add a box of vanilla pudding, the cool whip and cherries. Mix it all together and put it in the fridge over night. It’s amazing?
How can you mix the creamcheese mixture into the cake pieces, it will bne too stiff…
does it have to be angel food cake or could it be a regular cake mix ???
