Prepare Cake: Cube the angel food cake into bite-sized chunks.
Make Pudding Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk pudding mix with cold milk until it thickens slightly. Fold in the Greek yogurt.
Layer First Half: Spread half of the cake cubes into a 9×13-inch dish. Spoon about ⅔ of the cherry pie filling over the cake.
Layer Second Half: Add the remaining cake cubes on top. Pour the pudding mixture evenly across the cake, letting it sink into the gaps.
Top It Off: Spread whipped topping across the pudding. Drizzle the remaining cherry pie filling decoratively. Sprinkle with almonds if you’re feeling fancy.
Chill & Serve: Refrigerate at least 3 hours (overnight is best) so the flavors come together. Serve cold and enjoy.

This recipe is crazy flexible. You can twist it a dozen different ways and it’ll still taste amazing.
Use blueberry or strawberry pie filling instead of cherry.
Swap vanilla pudding for lemon pudding for a citrusy vibe.
Try a layer of crushed Oreos for extra texture.

FAQ
Can I make Heaven on Earth Cake ahead of time?
Absolutely. In fact, I recommend it. I’ve done this plenty of times before parties. Just assemble, cover, and refrigerate overnight. The longer it chills, the better it tastes.
What if I don’t like cherries?
No problem at all. I’ve swapped in strawberry, blueberry, even peach pie filling. Trust me, it still turns out amazing. Use whatever fruit topping you like best.
Storage
This cake keeps well in the fridge for 3–4 days. Just cover it tightly with plastic wrap so it doesn’t dry out.
I wouldn’t freeze it (whipped topping doesn’t thaw well), but honestly—it never lasts long enough around my family to worry about storage.
