2 boxes instant pistachio pudding 4-serving size boxes
2 ½ cups milk
1 cup sour cream
8 ounces Cool Whip
⅓ cup chopped pistachios

Cut the angel food cake into 1" cubes.
In a large bowl, whisk the pudding mix, milk, and sour cream together for 2 minutes until smooth. Let it sit for about 5 minutes. Set aside.
Layer ½ of the cubes in a 9 x 13 pan. Spread the cherry pie filling evenly over the cake cubes.
Layer the rest of the angel food cake over the pie filling.
Dollop the pudding over the cake and spread it in an even layer.
Evenly spread the Cool Whip over the pudding layer.

Notes

For easiest cutting, use a knife with a serrated blade to cut the angel food cake.

If the soft angel food cake is difficult to cut, pop it in the freezer to firm it up a bit.

Allow plenty of chilling time, overnight is best.
