Directions

1. Cube the Cake:
   Cut the angel food cake(s) into bite-sized pieces and set them aside.
2. Mix the Pudding Layer:
   In a mixing bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk until the mixture thickens slightly. Gently fold in the Greek yogurt until smooth and creamy.
3. Assemble the First Layer:
   Spread half of the cubed angel food cake into an even layer in a 9×13-inch baking dish. Spoon about two-thirds of the cherry pie filling over the cake and spread it out evenly.
4. Add the Second Layer:
   Distribute the remaining cake cubes over the cherry layer. Pour the vanilla-yogurt pudding mixture over the top and spread it out carefully to fill in all the spaces.
5. Top and Garnish:
   Evenly spread the whipped topping over the pudding layer using a spatula. Drizzle the remaining cherry pie filling over the top for a decorative finish. Sprinkle with sliced almonds for a bit of crunch—toast them beforehand if desired for extra depth of flavor.
6. Chill Before Serving:
   Refrigerate the dessert for at least 3 hours, or overnight if possible. This allows the layers to set and the flavors to blend for the best taste and texture.
