Cherries in the Snow

Written Tuesday, December 29th, 2009 by Penny Hawkins

After I did the member feature on Kris (Married to Chocolate) and her great idea for "No-bake Mondays", I was really motivated to work on some no-bake dessert recipes of my own. Looking for inspiration, I came across a recipe that was my mother's called "Cherries in the Snow". What a blast from the past! I had not eaten or thought about this recipe in years, but I remember it was a big favorite of ours, especially during the holiday season.

So, since we are still technically in the holiday season, and many of us  still have snow on the ground, I thought this was the perfect time to bring out this oldie but goodie and share it with you all! Enjoy!

Cherries in the Snow

Combine cream cheese and confectioners' sugar in small bowl. Beat at medium speed with electric mixer until smooth.

1. To assemble, stand the angel food cake on its end and slice in half down the length of the loaf (you will have two long slices).
2. Spread half the whipped topping in bottom of 13x9-inch pan. Arrange 1 cake slice on whipped topping: press lightly; spread with the cream cheese mixture.
3. Arrange remaining cake slice on cream cheese mixture; press lightly. Spread with remaining whipped topping.
4. Spoon cherry pie filling evenly over top. (Pan will be filled to the top.) Refrigerate for 2 hours or until ready to serve. Cut into slices.
