How to Make 10 Minute Delicious Cherry Delight

  2. Layer half of a package of chocolate wafers (about 10-12 depending on the size of your bowl) on the bottom of a large (approximately 9x13 inch) serving dish.
  3. Spread half of the pudding mixture evenly over the wafer layer.
  4. Add the remaining chocolate wafers on top of the pudding layer.
  5. Spread the remaining pudding mixture over the wafers.
  6. Top with 1 (15 ounce) can of cherry pie filling (or your choice of blueberry or strawberry).
  7. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the wafers to soften completely.
  9. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
