This Cherry Cheesecake Angel Dessert is super easy to make and is no bake. With cherry cheesecake and Angel food cake it’s two desserts in one.
It’s still Summer Dessert Week and today I’m offering up another super easy dessert.
Spending a good chunk of my life living in Arizona you get really good at making no bake desserts.
Unless you want to bake at 3 in the morning (have done this) you don’t want to turn your oven on often when living there.
So you get really good at grilling outdoors and you get into no bake desserts.
Growing up this dessert used to be everywhere.
Now when I talk about it people kind of stare at me.
In the that sounds lame kind of way.
But it’s so not lame.
How could it be?
It’s Angel Food Cake and basically Cherry Cheesecake together as one.
Can you make your own Angel Food Cake for this?
Yes.
I have certainly made Angel Food Cake in the past.
But the whole point of this is to not turn on the oven.
And truth be told the bakery at my local store makes a very good Angel Food Cake.
Many people only put the pie filling on top.
But I like it both in the dessert and on top of it.
This also works well with other pie fillings such as blueberry or blackberry.

No bake desserts are the way to go here in Texas lately too!

Oh, this is one of my favorite desserts to make! It’s so easy. And since I always remember the ingredients and if I need to make a dish to take somewhere, I can easily get to the store and pick up the things I need without having to think about and look up ingredients for another dish! A friend of mine (God rest her soul) gave me this recipe, so I think of her everytime I make it, which is an added bonus.

It’s a good recipe to have in your wheelhouse.

Thank you!! I am a busy mom and despise baking!! I was given one of those gigantic blender things for Christmas last year and it’s been sitting in the garage since. This recipe is perfect for a little hand beater and little clean up!!
