04 -
Carefully fold the thawed whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until no white streaks remain and the mixture is uniform.
05 -
Gently fold the torn angel food cake pieces into the mixture, taking care not to break them down excessively.
06 -
Transfer the mixture evenly into a 9x13-inch baking dish and spread to form a uniform layer.

Ensure cream cheese is fully softened before starting to avoid lumps. Substitute cherry pie filling with other fruit fillings such as blueberry or strawberry if desired. Chilling for the full 2 hours improves texture and flavor integration.
