Brace yourself because I’ve got a mouthwatering recipe that’s bound to become a favorite at your gatherings—Cherry Cheesecake Dip. It’s quick, easy, and absolutely delicious. Everyone will be asking you for the recipe.
Ingredients:
Prep Time: 10 minutes | Total Time: 40 minutes | Servings: 6
- 8 oz Cream Cheese, softened
- 13 oz jar Marshmallow Fluff
- 8 oz Cool Whip
- 21 oz Cherry Pie Filling
- 1 box Graham Crackers
Instructions:
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Add Marshmallow Fluff: Add the jar of marshmallow fluff to the cream cheese. Beat together until well combined and smooth.
- Fold in Cool Whip: Gently fold in the Cool Whip until fully incorporated. Be careful not to overmix to maintain the fluffiness.
- Assemble the Dip: Transfer the cream cheese mixture to a serving dish or bowl, spreading it out evenly.
- Add Cherry Pie Filling: Spoon the cherry pie filling over the top of the cream cheese mixture, spreading it out evenly.
- Serve: Serve immediately with graham crackers for dipping. Alternatively, cover for 30 minutes and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Storage and Reheating Instructions:
If you have any Cherry Cheesecake Dip left (which I doubt because it’s that good!), simply cover it with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container. Pop it in the refrigerator, and it’ll stay fresh for up to 3 days. Freezing leftovers isn’t recommended.
Helpful Tips & Substitutions
Can This Be Made Ahead of Time?
Absolutely! Follow the recipe as instructed but hold off on adding the cherry pie filling. Once you’ve prepared the cream cheese mixture, cover it tightly and refrigerate. When you’re ready to serve, give the mixture a quick stir, spread it in your serving dish, and top with the cherry pie filling.
Substitutions & Variations
- Different Pie Fillings: Not a fan of cherries? No problem! You can use blueberry, strawberry, or even apple pie filling instead. Each one brings a unique flavor twist to the dip.
- Chocolate Chips: Sprinkle some mini chocolate chips over the cherry pie filling for a delightful chocolate-cherry combination.
- Crushed Nuts: Add a bit of crunch by sprinkling some crushed nuts (like almonds or pecans) on top of the cherry filling.
Helpful Cooking Notes
- Softening Cream Cheese: Make sure your cream cheese is fully softened before you start. This will make it much easier to blend smoothly. If you’re in a hurry, you can soften it in the microwave in 10-second intervals, but be careful not to melt it.
- Folding in Cool Whip: When folding in the Cool Whip, be gentle! You want to keep the mixture light and fluffy, so use a spatula and fold slowly to avoid deflating it.
- Serving: This dip is best enjoyed with graham crackers, but feel free to get creative. It’s also delicious with vanilla wafers, pretzels, or even fresh fruit slices.
