In a bowl, whisk together the instant pudding mix, cold milk, and sour cream until smooth and thickened (about 2 minutes). Spread this mixture over the cherry layer.
Add the remaining cake cubes on top of the pudding layer. Then spread the whipped topping evenly over the entire dish. Finish with dollops or a drizzle of the remaining cherry pie filling.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to let the layers set and flavors blend. Garnish with sliced almonds or maraschino cherries before serving, if desired.
Tips & Variations
- Switch the fruit: Try blueberry, strawberry, or mixed berry pie filling for a twist.
- Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a lighter version.
- Make it individual: Layer ingredients in cups or jars for fun, portable servings.
- Add texture: Sprinkle crushed graham crackers or vanilla wafer crumbs between layers for extra crunch.
