Perfect for those who want a quick, indulgent treat without turning on the oven, this chilled cake offers a taste of nostalgic sweetness combined with a luscious fruity finish.

Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 10 Twinkies, sliced in half lengthwise

Pudding Layer

  • 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 2 cups milk

Topping

  • 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping, thawed
  • 1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base: Slice the Twinkies in half lengthwise and arrange them cream side up in the bottom of your baking dish to create the cake base.
  2. Mix the Pudding: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and 2 cups of milk until the mixture is smooth. Let it sit for a few minutes to thicken fully.
  3. Add Pudding Layer: Pour the thickened pudding evenly over the arranged Twinkies, spreading gently to cover completely.
  4. Add Whipped Topping: Carefully spread the thawed whipped topping over the pudding layer, creating a light and creamy second layer.
  5. Top with Cherries: Spoon the cherry pie filling evenly over the whipped topping to add a fruity and colorful finish.
  6. Chill: Refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow the layers to set and flavors to meld beautifully.

Notes

  • For best results, use full-fat milk to achieve a creamier pudding texture.
  • Allow the whipped topping to thaw completely before spreading for easy application.
  • Use a glass or ceramic baking dish for even chilling and attractive presentation.
  • This dessert is best served chilled and should be kept refrigerated until ready to serve.
  • You can substitute cherry pie filling with other fruit pie fillings such as blueberry or strawberry for a different flavor twist.
