If it’s your turn to bring a dessert to your next party, don’t dread it. And, don’t just go buy something! Cherry Vanilla Heaven Dessert is super easy to put together, and the light cherry flavor is so delicious! This dessert was gone first out of all the other desserts the last time I shared it and everyone wanted the recipe. It looks a lot fancier than it is, and it is a recipe that everyone can make!
Ingredients & Substitutions
Angel Food Cake: To make this recipe even easier, buy an angel food cake from the store. Or, you could certainly make your own, too!
Pudding Layer: Grab a box of vanilla pudding mix and combine it with milk and heavy cream.
Cherry Pie Filling: If you prefer, make homemade cherry pie filling instead of using a store-bought filling.
Whipped Topping: Cool whip is delicious on this dessert, but I also recommend trying homemade whipped cream.
Almonds: Almonds are definitely optional for topping this dessert.
Variations to Cherry Vanilla Heaven Dessert
If you are not a fan of cherries, simply substitute the pie filling for a different flavor. I love blueberry or strawberry pie filling for this recipe. If you want your dessert a little thicker, use a square casserole dish instead. Since this is such an easy recipe, the more options you have, the better!
How to Store Cherry Vanilla Heaven Dessert
Store the cherry vanilla heaven dessert in the refrigerator, covered. It will last 1-2 days. I do not recommend freezing the dessert.
