I have officially decided that this Berry Cheesecake Angel Fluff is my new favorite dessert for summer. And best of all, it comes together in just minutes and it has all of the right colors for your Fourth of July celebration!
Anyone who knows me knows that I adore cake. But when the weather heats up, I like lighter, fresher versions of my favorites…better yet if they’re topped with sweet, seasonal fruit! I have managed to tuck all of the best textures and flavors into one amazing dish. Please, please, please give it a try — you won’t believe how tasty it is!
I baked an angel food cake from a box mix (love those short-cuts!). If you want an even shorter, no-bake method, just pick up a prepared angel food cake from the bakery section at your grocery store. You will only need half of the cake for this recipe, so save the rest for snack!
You will then cut your cake into cubes and coat it in a creamy cheesecake fluff. That takes about 5 minutes. Top with blueberry pie filling and just refrigerate until ready to serve. At the last minute, finish it off with some fresh berries of your choice and you will be the star of the {potluck} show.
This is the perfect July 4th dessert!
