Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the top of the angel food cake pieces. Use a spatula to smooth the filling into every corner of the dish, ensuring that the cake is fully covered with the creamy mixture. The filling will settle into the crevices between the cake pieces, making every bite rich and satisfying.
Once assembled, cover the cake with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate it for at least 2-3 hours, or until the filling has set and the flavors have melded together. This chilling step is crucial for allowing the cake to absorb the creamy filling and for the texture to firm up for easy slicing.
Serving Suggestions
Before serving, garnish the Heaven on Earth Cake with fresh fruit, such as strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries, for a pop of color and freshness. Alternatively, sprinkle with chocolate shavings, a drizzle of chocolate sauce, or caramel sauce for added richness. The cake is perfect on its own, but adding a few extra toppings can elevate the experience.
Make-Ahead & Storage
This dessert can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It’s the perfect dish to prepare in advance for a party or gathering. Store the cake in an airtight container or cover it tightly with plastic wrap to keep it fresh. The texture and flavor only improve with time, making it even better the next day!
Tips
- If you want to make this dessert even more indulgent, top it with a generous amount of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
- If you’re looking for a lighter version, you can substitute the sour cream with a lower-fat version or even use Greek yogurt for a tangier flavor.
