Ingredients
- 1 Angel food cake (14-ounce store bought or bake your own)
- 2 8-ounce packages of cream cheese (16-ounces total), soften at room temperature
- ½ cup confectioners’ sugar
- 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 (5 ½ ounce) can evaporated milk
- 1 16-ounce container of frozen Cool Whip non-dairy whipped topping, divided and thawed
- 2 cups thinly sliced fresh strawberries
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 ½ cups fresh raspberries
- ⅔ cup chopped pecans, lightly toasted (optional)
Instructions
- Set aside a few berries for garnishing the top of cake.
- Using a serrated knife, or your fingers cut or tear the angel food cake into small pieces. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add confectioners’ sugar, sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk. Beat until smooth. Fold in 8-ounces of whipped topping or half the 16-ounce container reserving half of the whipped topping for top of cake.
- Add the cake pieces to the cream cheese mixture and mix well. Using a spoon, roughly divide mixture into fourths. You’ll use ¼ of the cake mixture for each layer of the punch bowl cake.
- Place ¼ of the cake mixture in the bottom of a glass punch bowl or glass trifle dish. Top the cake layer evenly with the sliced strawberries.
- Spread ¼ of the cake mixture over the sliced strawberries and layer with the blueberries.
- Spread ¼ of the cake mixture over the blueberries and sprinkle with the layer with the raspberries.
- Top the layer of raspberries with the 1/4 remaining cake mixture. Top with the remaining Cool Whip. Sprinkle with toasted pecans and garnish with the reserved berries, if desired.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
