Cherries are a major crop in New York. Each year, a cherry recipe is conducted to celebrate George Washington's birthday-and I won with this recipe! Ingredients:
5 cups angel food cake cubes |
1/4 cup cherry liqueur, optional |
1 cup confectioners' sugar |
1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese, softened |
8 ounces frozen non-dairy whipped topping, thawed, divided |
1/2 cup toasted chopped pecans |
1 can (21 ounces) cherry filling or topping |
Directions:
1. Place cake cubes in large bowl. Sprinkle with liqueur if desired; let stand 30 minutes. In a medium bowl, combine confectioners' sugar and cream cheese; beat until blended. Reserve 2 tablespoons whipped topping; fold remaining topping into cheese mixture. Stir topping mixture and pecans into cake cubes; mix well. Spoon cake mixture into a pretty glass or crystal bowl. Spread cherry filling evenly over top. Or, if desired, layer one-half cake mixture and cherry filling; repeat layers.) Cover; refrigerate at least 3 hours. Garnish servings with reserved topping. Yield: 8-10 servings.
