Nothing can beat a no-cook dessert like this that still brings smiles and compliments for all! I lightened this up quite a bit by using all fat-free ingredients including the cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, and Cool Whip and sugar-free pie filling. The pie filling was fat free and so is the angel food cake, so it must be a totally fat-free dessert this way! My glass dish wouldn't quite fit the last layer of Cool Whip, so I just dapped some in the center, using only one 8 oz. tub total. I took it to a girlfriends' lunch and they all loved it.

This is a delicious dessert, and serves a crowd! I made mine in a huge lasagna dish ( 18L X 12W X 3.25H) and it just did fit. I baked an angel food cake to use, as the price difference between the mix and one from the bakery was small; I'm not sure how big a baked angel cake is....There were no 12 oz. whipped topping, so I got and used 2 8 oz., as my dish had a bigger surface area to cover, on top. Everyone loved it, and I can't wait to make it again! Thanks so much for sharing, mary winecoff. This one is going in my keeper file!

I have two boys who will usually eat most things I put in front of them. As a single mom I use them as my guinea pigs....sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I have a huge garden, blueberry and blackberry bushes. I am always looking for a new recipe. I have three cats (Xiao Mao, which means little cat in Chinese, Pumpkin and Max) and two border collies, Lucy and Grace. All my animals come from Rescue Agencies.
