Ingredients
- 8 oz (1 block) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1½ cups whipped topping like Cool Whip
- 1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling
- Optional: graham cracker crumbs for garnish
Instructions
- Mix the base: In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth using a hand mixer.
- Sweeten it: Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Beat again until fully combined and fluffy.
- Fold in the fluff: Gently fold in the whipped topping with a rubber spatula until the mixture is light and creamy.
- Assemble the dip: Spread the cheesecake mixture into a shallow serving dish or bowl.
- Top it off: Spoon the cherry pie filling evenly over the top. For a decorative touch, sprinkle with crushed graham cracker crumbs.
- Chill or serve immediately: You can serve it right away or chill it for 30 minutes for a firmer texture.
Notes
- Soften the cream cheese: Let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before mixing to avoid lumps.
- Use quality cherry filling: A good brand makes a big difference in taste and presentation.
- Fold gently: Don’t overmix the whipped topping or you’ll lose that light, airy texture.
- Make ahead: Prepare it a few hours ahead and store covered in the fridge—it tastes even better chilled!
