Instructions

Step 1: Soften the Cream Cheese
Make sure your cream cheese is softened to room temperature.
This ensures a smooth, creamy texture with no lumps.

Step 2: Whip the Cheesecake Base
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer until light and fluffy.
Add marshmallow fluff (or whipped topping), powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
Beat again until everything is fully combined and smooth.

Step 3: Transfer to Serving Dish
Spoon the creamy cheesecake mixture into a shallow serving bowl or small trifle dish.
Spread it evenly with a spatula to create a flat base.

Step 4: Add the Cherry Topping
Carefully spoon the cherry pie filling over the cheesecake base.
Spread it gently to cover the top completely without mixing it into the dip.

Step 5: Chill (Optional)
You can serve the dip immediately, but for best results, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
This allows the flavors to meld and gives the dip a slightly firmer texture.

Step 6: Serve & Enjoy
Place the dip on a platter surrounded by graham crackers, vanilla wafers, fresh fruit, and pretzels.
Scoop, dip, and enjoy every luscious bite.

Notes

Soften Cream Cheese – This is key for smooth, creamy texture.
Don’t Overmix – Beat just until everything is incorporated to keep it fluffy.
Serve Cold – The dip holds its shape and flavor best when chilled.
Use Quality Pie Filling – Choose a thick, glossy cherry filling for that picture-perfect top.
Make it Fancy – Top with crushed graham crackers or mini chocolate chips for extra flair.
