Instructions
-
Prepare the Cake: Start by cubing the angel food cake into bite-sized pieces and arrange them in a 9×13-inch baking dish, ensuring an even layer across the bottom.
-
-
Make the Pudding Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the milk and instant vanilla pudding mix. Use a whisk or an electric mixer to beat them together until the mixture thickens. Gently fold in the vanilla ice cream until smooth and well incorporated.
-
Layer the Mixture: Pour the pudding mixture over the cubed angel food cake, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Cover the dish and refrigerate for about 2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the cake to soak up the creamy goodness.
-
Prepare the Gelatin: In a separate bowl, dissolve the strawberry Jell-O in 1 cup of boiling water, stirring thoroughly until completely dissolved. Then, add 1ยผ cups of cold water to the mixture, combining well.
-
Add the Strawberries: Stir in the frozen strawberries to the Jell-O mixture, allowing them to thaw slightly. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator until it reaches a consistency similar to egg whites.
-
Final Assembly: Once the pudding layer is set, carefully pour the gelatin and strawberry mixture over the top. Return the dessert to the refrigerator and let it chill until the gelatin is fully set, usually for another 2-3 hours.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once set, slice the Strawberry Angel Dessert into squares and serve chilled, garnishing with additional strawberries or whipped cream if desired.
This Strawberry Angel Dessert is not just a feast for the eyes, but it also offers a delightful balance of sweetness and freshness, making it the ultimate addition to any gathering. Enjoy sharing this delightful recipe with friends and family!
