How to Make Cherry Cheesecake Trifle

  1. In a large bowl, beat 16 ounces (2 packages) of cream cheese until light and fluffy. Stir in 1 cup of vanilla yogurt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 package (3.4 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix and 2 cups of milk until thickened. Gently fold the pudding mixture into the cream cheese mixture. Fold in 2 cups of whipped topping, reserving about 1 cup for later.
  3. In a 4-quart trifle bowl or large bowl, evenly spread half of the cream cheese mixture in the bottom.
  4. Top with half of a 16-ounce package of angel food cake, cut into 1-inch cubes. Gently press down with the back of a spoon.
  5. Spread one 21-ounce can of cherry pie filling evenly over the cake layer.
  6. Repeat layers: cream cheese mixture, angel food cake, and cherry pie filling.
  7. Spread the reserved 1 cup of whipped topping over the final layer of cherry pie filling.
  8. Cover and chill in the refrigerator overnight (or for at least 4 hours) before serving. Keeps for up to 2 weeks refrigerated.
