Ingredients:

  • 283g (10 oz) Angel Food Cake: Cut into 2.5cm (1 inch) cubes
  • 450g (1 lb) Fresh Strawberries: Hulled and sliced thin
  • 25g (2 tbsp) Granulated Sugar
  • 96g (3.4 oz) Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix: One standard box
  • 355ml (1.5 cups) Cold Whole Milk
  • 240g (1 cup) Full fat Sour Cream
  • 225g (8 oz) stabilized whipped topping
  • 595g (21 oz) Strawberry Pie Filling
  • 5ml (1 tsp) Fresh Lemon Juice

Instructions:

  1. Toss 450g of sliced strawberries with 25g of sugar and 5ml of lemon juice in a medium bowl. Let them sit for 15 minutes to release their natural juices.
  2. Cut 283g of angel food cake into 2.5cm pieces. Do not crush the cake while cutting, or you'll lose that airy texture.
  3. Combine 96g of pudding mix with 355ml of cold milk. Whisk for 2 minutes until it starts to thicken and look glossy.
  4. Fold in 240g of sour cream into the pudding until no white streaks remain.
  5. Gently fold in 225g (8 oz) of stabilized whipped topping. Use a slow under and over motion until the mixture looks like a fluffy cloud.
  6. Stir the macerated strawberries (and their liquid!) into 595g of strawberry pie filling.
  7. Place half of the cake cubes in the bottom of your dish.
  8. Spread half of the pudding mixture over the cake, pressing down slightly until the cake is mostly covered.
  9. Spoon half of the strawberry mixture over the cream.
  10. Add the remaining cake, cream, and fruit. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours until the layers feel firm and set.
