Tips for making Heaven on Earth dessert.
This is a great dessert to make ahead of time and chill in your refrigerator. It takes just a few hours for the cake to soak up the other ingredients and flavors to make this dessert even better!
More tips for you.
- My dessert was made using angel food cake as it is such a light and fluffy cake. However, you can use the cake of your choice, such as Lemon Cake or pound cake.
- When slicing your cake into cubes, it is best to use a serrated knife such as a bread knife. This will help the cake hold on to its fluffy texture that is essential for the cake to absorb other ingredients resulting in a perfect dessert.
- This cake can be stored in a refrigerator for about two days. After two days, the cake can be too soggy to enjoy as it should be enjoyed.
Personalize this heaven on earth dessert recipe.
This dessert is amazing just the way it is.
However, you can make yours even better.
Try one of these ideas.
- Add a layer or topping of fresh blueberries or even another berry such as strawberries.

- For an adult version (not for non-adults), you can toss the cake chunks with an adult beverage.

Ingredients needed to make Blueberry Heaven on Earth Cake Dessert
- Instant pudding. Use a 3.4 ounce (four serving) pudding. My dessert was made using vanilla pudding. You do not need the additional ingredients needed to prepare the pudding.
- Milk. A milk with higher fat content, such as whole milk or 2%, works best.
- Greek Yogurt. Alternatively, you can use sour cream for the (tangy flavor) and wet ingredient balance in this recipe.
- Angel Food Cake. Use a store bought or cooled down homemade cake. You will need about two cups of cubes (one average cake).
- Blueberry Pie Filling. Use a 21 ounce can.
- Whipped Topping in a tub. Such as "Cool Whip".
- Toppings such as slivered almonds.
Expert Tip 👉 Instead of pie filling, you can also use homemade jams/jellies and even add some fresh fruit into it.
How to make Heaven on Earth Cake Dessert.
Servings: 12
Preparation: 15 minutes plus chilling time.
EQUIPMENT
9x13 baking dish
Mixing bowl
Whisk
Step One: prepare.
Prepare your workstation as needed. Also, cut the angel food cake into one inch cubes.
Lastly, make sure that your baking dish is clean.
Step Two: make the dessert.
- Evenly place half of the cubes of cake on the bottom of the baking dish.
- Spread or spoon about ⅔rds of the pie filling over the cake cubes.
- Place the remaining cake cubes over the pie filling.
- In a mixing bowl, use a whisk to combine together the dry pudding mix, milk, and yogurt (or sour cream).
- Use a large spoon to evenly distribute the ingredients from the mixing bowl over the cake cube layer that you just placed over the pie filling.
- Layer the tubbed whipped topping over the wet ingredients. Using a spoon to place dollops of whipped topping and then spreading them out using a rubber spatula can work with this step.
- Lastly, add the remaining pie filling over the whipped topping. Again, dollops can work with this step as well.
Step Three: finish and serve.
Place the dessert, uncovered, in your refrigerator to set. It should take at least four hours to set and for the cake to absorb enough of the other ingredients to make this dessert work. Right before serving, you can add you toppings to the dessert.
Expert Tip 👉 Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Any longer and it will start to become soggy. I do not recommend freezing as it does not thaw well.
