Ingredients

1 angel food cake baked from a mix, store-bought, or homemade
21 ounces strawberry pie filling
2 boxes instant vanilla pudding mix (4-serving size boxes) or French vanilla or cheesecake
2 ½ cups cold milk
1 cup sour cream
8 ounces Cool Whip
2-3 tablespoons toasted almonds, optional

Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together the pudding mix and about 1 cup of milk until smooth. Slowly whisk in the rest of the milk, then the sour cream, for about 2 minutes. Set aside.
Cut angel food cake into 1-inch cubes. Arrange ½ of them in an even layer in a 9 x 13 pan. Spread the strawberry pie filling evenly on top of the cake cubes.
Layer the remaining angel food cake cubes on top of the pie filling. Dollop the vanilla pudding on top of the cake and spread into an even layer. Evenly spread the Cool Whip on top. Cover and chill at least 6 hours.
Before serving, sprinkle the top with toasted almonds.

Notes

Cut the angel food cake with a serrated knife using a sawing motion to keep from crushing the cake.
Chill time is key. Let it set for at least 6 hours so the flavors can meld and the texture firms up.
Use cold milk for the pudding so it sets properly.
Customize it with your favorite flavors of pudding and pie filling.
