# Strawberry Heaven on Earth Cake (No-Bake Dessert)

A light, creamy, and fruity dessert that's perfect for summer gatherings, potlucks, and family celebrations. This easy no-bake treat combines fluffy angel food cake, sweet strawberries, and a rich vanilla cream filling.

## Ingredients

* 10 oz angel food cake, cut into 1-inch cubes

* 21 oz strawberry pie filling

* 1 package (3.4 oz) vanilla instant pudding mix

* 1⅔ cups cold whole milk

* 1 cup sour cream

* 8 oz whipped topping, thawed (for topping)

* Fresh strawberries, sliced (optional garnish)

## Instructions

### Step 1: Prepare the Cake Layer

Cut the angel food cake into bite-sized cubes. Spread half of the cubes evenly in the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish or trifle bowl.

### Step 2: Add the Strawberry Layer

Spoon half of the strawberry pie filling over the cake cubes, spreading it evenly.

### Step 3: Create the Cream Filling

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix and cold milk until thickened, about 2 minutes. Fold in the sour cream until smooth and fully combined.

### Step 4: Add the First Cream Layer

Spread half of the pudding mixture over the strawberry layer.

### Step 5: Repeat the Layers

Add the remaining cake cubes, followed by the remaining strawberry pie filling, and then the rest of the pudding mixture.

### Step 6: Finish with Whipped Topping

Spread the whipped topping evenly over the entire dessert.

### Step 7: Chill

Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. This allows the flavors to meld together and the cake to absorb some of the creamy filling.

### Step 8: Garnish and Serve

Before serving, garnish with fresh sliced strawberries if desired.

## Tips for Success

* Chilling overnight produces the best texture and flavor.

* A glass dish showcases the beautiful layers.

* Fresh berries can be added between layers for extra fruit flavor.

* For a lighter version, use reduced-fat sour cream and milk.

## Storage

Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This dessert is best enjoyed cold and is not recommended for freezing, as the texture may change after thawing.

ffy, strawberry-filled dessert that lives up to its heavenly name.
