Angelic Fruit Dessert

I bookmarked a recipe from my friend Mari a while back. I thought it would be a good one to try for our monthly small group. She puts hers in trifle bowls, but for small group I prepared it in a 9x13 pan.

Angelic Fruit Dessert
from Mari

1 Angel Food Cake, cut up into cubes
2 small boxes of vanilla instant pudding
3 cups milk
1 small (8 oz) Cool Whip
Berries of choice

Put the Angel Food Cake cubes into the bottom of your 9x13 pan (or trifle bowls).

Prepare pudding with the 3 cups of milk. Fold in the 8 oz Cool Whip. Evenly distribute over the Angel Food Cake.

Top with sliced berries. The first time I used blueberries and strawberries. This time I added nectarines to half of it.




The first time I made it I had two boxes of French Vanilla pudding in my pantry and decided to use those instead of buying more. It worked. This time I only had a large box of pudding, so I made it with 2 1/2 cups of milk and it worked that way too.

I would have put nectarines on the entire dessert but I couldn't remember if they turned brown after they were exposed to the air. I figured I'd just cut up another one when we got ready to eat the rest.

This is a fantastic summer dessert that requires no cooking, unless you bake your own Angel Food Cake. Me, I'm lazy and buy one at the store.
