SO I made this for the first time for a Memorial Day get together. EVERYONE LOVED IT. One guest called it "Pleasure in a Bowl". We loved it. I used pound cake instead of angel food (because it was on sale). It was really really good and can't wait to try it again. Thanks!!

DELISH!!! Very decadent cream filling yet light with angel food cake and fruit. Perfect combo! And looked very very festive for my 4th of July party! Will definitely make again!
