My blueberry heaven on earth cake is the latest addition to heaven on Earth cakes! It begins with a pre-made tender and moist angel food cake for the supermarket bakery, then is topped with blueberry pie filling and a rich vanilla pudding cream mixture!
I love that this recipe uses easy-to-find convenience foods to make a spectacular dessert that will quickly become a family favorite!
This dessert is potluck perfect, great for church luncheons, Sunday suppers, or neighborhood get-togethers. It’s so easy to make but no one else will ever guess that!
If you love no-bake desserts like my eclair cake you’ll love my classic heaven on earth cake, peach heaven on earth cake, and my strawberry heaven on earth cake. I promise you’ll love them all!
Blueberry Heaven on Earth Cake Ingredients
- Angel Food Cake: Buy a prepared angel food cake from the supermarket bakery.
- Vanilla Pudding:Â This calls for instant pudding. Don’t use the cook-and-serve variety. You will be mixing it with the milk and sour cream to make a rich and creamy filling.
- Milk:Â I like to use whole milk to create a rich filling.
- Sour Cream: I use the full-fat version of sour cream to keep the filling nice and rich!
- Blueberry Pie Filling: Using the canned blueberry filling makes this recipe so very delicious and easy!
- Whipped Topping: Make sure you thaw this overnight in the fridge so this thaws properly and doesn’t separate. I use either Cool Whip or Kroger whipped topping (btw…no paid endorsement….just found it works and it’s a lot cheaper!)
Recipe Notes
- Different Cake: Try making this recipe with a different type of cake like a pound cake or sponge cake.
- Homemade: Make your own Angel Food cake.
- Semi-Homemade:Â If you want to step it up from my basic recipe, use a boxed angel food cake mix.
- Can you make angel food cake a day ahead? Absolutely. Pro tip: The cake needs to be completely cooled before using it in this recipe so making it ahead of time is a great idea!
- Best Knife:Â To cut the fluffy texture of the cake of Angel food cake into cake cubes, cut a knife with a serrated blade.
- Optional garnish: Instead of the sliced almonds use slivered or chopped! They really add a nice aesthetic element not to mention crunch! A few fresh mint leaves are always a lovely touch!
Storing + Freezing + Make-Ahead
- How Long Can You Keep This In The Fridge? This can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.
- Can You Freeze This? No. Since this cake has sour cream, it is not recommended to freeze it. The texture might differ once thawed.
- Make-Ahead Tips:Â Assemble a day ahead or a few hours ahead, and refrigerate.
- Food Safety: If you’d like more info on food safety check out this link.

Does this have the texture of sponge cake?
Hi. Well, the Angel food cake is a type of sponge cake but when the recipe is put together it’s more like a trifle.
I finally got around to making this recipe OMG it is delicious it’s light it’s not feeling it is amazing the only bad thing is you can’t stop eating it because it is so delicious thank you for such an amazing dish plus you don’t even have to turn on the oven now for the summer it’s perfect
Really good, but I will try with cherry filling next time. I generally find blueberry a little bland- my mom even suggested lemon. Might be fun~!
Hi Ruth! The original recipe was made with cherry pie filling. It’s delicious. Well, actually, I really love all the flavors! <3
Do you beat the pudding sour cream and milk together or do you do it with a whisk
I whisk it <3
I’m obsessed with all your heaven on earth cakes! I wanna buy all flavors of pie filling now!
Woohoo! It’s so easy to make, right? Thanks for your positive feedback!
I used sugar free angel food cake, sugar free pudding, sugar free cool whip, and sugar free blackberry pie filling. I took this from 47g sugar all the way down to 10g.
So I made a diabetic friendly version and it was incredible.
Wow, that’s amazing, MB! Thank you for sharing the sugar-free option!
Can you use a regular cake mix instead of angel food cake
Hi, Ace. You can use pound cake or sponge cake.
These recipes look delicious!!
Thank you, Lynn!!
Freaking delicious and easy. Perfect for after a dinner or BBQ. It’s really light. Very easy to make and refreshing.
A staple for me now.
Wow, thank you so much! I’m glad you like this. 🙂
Looks delish! I didn’t make it yet but I was wondering if I could slice the cake and layer it instead of cubing it?
Hi Lorie. Gosh I’ve never done that. Sounds interesting but I thinks this will work best with the cake in chunks.
