Prepare your dish by lightly greasing or lining a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar using an electric mixer until smooth.

Mix in the vanilla extract until well combined, then gently fold in the thawed whipped topping.

Layer half of the angel food cake cubes evenly across the bottom of your prepared baking dish.

Spoon half of the cream cheese mixture over the angel food cake layer, spreading it evenly.

Dollop half of the cherry pie filling over the cream layer, spreading it out evenly.

Repeat the layering process with the remaining angel food cake, cream cheese mixture, and cherry pie filling.

Cover the assembled dessert with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Once chilled, slice your Cherries in the Snow dessert and serve cold, garnishing with fresh cherries or mint if desired.
