Description
Heaven on Earth Cake is a refreshing, no-bake dessert with layers of angel food cake, creamy vanilla pudding, and sweet fruit, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- For the cake:
- 1 store-bought angel food cake (or homemade, if preferred)
- 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, drained
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 (5.1 oz) box of instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut (optional, for garnish)
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and milk. Let the pudding set for about 5 minutes until it thickens.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Fold the whipped cream into the pudding mixture to create a light, fluffy texture.
- Slice the angel food cake into bite-sized pieces and arrange them in a single layer at the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Evenly spread the pudding mixture over the cake, ensuring it is fully covered. Top with drained crushed pineapple.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, for the flavors to meld and the cake to soak up the pudding.
- Before serving, garnish with shredded coconut and chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
For a berry version, replace the pineapple with fresh strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries.For a chocolate twist, use chocolate pudding mix and top with chocolate shavings or chips.Top with caramel sauce and chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts for an extra layer of flavor.For a tropical twist, use coconut milk in place of regular milk and top with toasted coconut.
