Ingredients

  • 1 large angel food cake baked
  • 1 3.5 oz package instant lemon pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk
  • 12 oz vanilla or lemon yogurt
  • 11 oz jar lemon curd
  • 1 12 oz tub whipped topping, thawed

Instructions
 

Prepare the cake base

  1. Cut the angel food cake into small, even cubes. Arrange the cubes in a single layer in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Set aside.

Prepare the pudding mixture

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant lemon pudding mix and cold milk until smooth and thickened. Gently fold in the yogurt until fully incorporated.

Add the lemon curd

  1. Drizzle the lemon curd evenly over the layer of cake cubes, ensuring that it covers as much surface as possible.

Layer the pudding mixture

  1. Pour the prepared pudding and yogurt mixture over the lemon curd and spread gently with a spatula to create an even layer.

Finish with whipped topping

  1. Spread the thawed whipped topping evenly over the pudding layer, smoothing the surface for a clean finish.

Refrigerate

  1. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap or a lid. Refrigerate for a minimum of 3 hours, allowing the dessert to set before serving.
