Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 package vanilla pudding mix
- 1 cup whole milk (or any milk alternative like almond or oat milk)
- 2 cups whipped topping (store-bought or homemade)
- 4 cups angel food cake, cut into bite-sized pieces
Instructions
- Start by washing and hulling about 2 cups of fresh strawberries. Slice them into quarters and set them aside.
- In a large bowl, combine 1 package of vanilla pudding mix with 1 cup of milk. Whisk until smooth and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it thickens.
- Once the pudding is thick, gently fold in 2 cups of whipped topping. Make sure to mix it well but be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
- Cut your angel food cake into bite-sized pieces (about 4 cups). Add the cake pieces to the pudding and whipped topping mixture, stirring gently to coat all the pieces.
- Gently fold in the sliced strawberries, being cautious not to mash them.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

Keywords: For a more visually appealing presentation, consider layering the salad in a trifle dish or individual glasses. You can mix in other fruits like bananas or peaches for a fruity twist. Top the salad with additional whipped topping and a sprinkle of crushed graham crackers for a crunchy texture. This salad can be made a day in advance; just wait to add the strawberries until a few hours before serving to keep them fresh.
