Create the Layers:

  • Spread half of the pudding mixture over the cake in the dish.
  • Layer with strawberries, blueberries, and drained pineapple.
  • Top with remaining cake cubes.
  • Spread the rest of the pudding mixture over the top, filling all gaps.

  • Sprinkle with toasted coconut and optional almonds.
  • Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours (preferably overnight).

Notes

This dessert is best served chilled.
Make it a day ahead for maximum flavor fusion.
For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free angel food cake and check pudding mix labels.
Variations: Try chocolate pudding, lemon zest, or boozy additions for a custom twist.
Avoid freezing; the texture doesn’t hold well.
