Fantasy Fudge in a Cloud

SUBMITTED BY: Dana Campbell PHOTO BY: bryn

"Rich, white chocolate infused, cream cheese clouds are layered with buttery yellow cake, bananas, cherries, and toasted pecans, and smothered with fudge topping and whipped cream. This is a fudge sundae at its best -- better yet, feed it to your honey and he'll swoon from the sweetness of it all! Oh, yeah, small portions recommended."

INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
  • 1 (3.3 ounce) package instant white chocolate pudding mix
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • 3 bananas, sliced
  • 1 cup chopped toasted pecans
  • 1 1/4 cups chocolate fudge topping
  • 1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling

DIRECTIONS

  1. Prepare cake according to package directions and bake in a 9x13 inch pan. Let cool completely. Cut half the cake into 1-inch cubes (saving the other half for another dessert).
  2. In a large bowl, beat together pudding mix and milk until thick and creamy. Beat in cream cheese until fluffy. Fold in half the whipped topping.
  3. In a large punch or trifle bowl, layer one-third of the cake cubes, one-third of the cream cheese mixture, one-third of the banana slices and one-third of the pecans. Top with one-third of the fudge sauce.
  4. Repeat cake and cream cheese layers and top with half the cherry pie filling. Cover the pie filling with one-third of the bananas, one-third of the pecans and one-third of the fudge sauce.
  5. Repeat step 4, omitting the pecan layer. Top with remaining whipped topping; drizzle with remaining fudge sauce; and sprinkle with remaining pecans. Refrigerate 4 hours before serving.
