Ingredients
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 (8-ounce) tub whipped topping (such as Cool Whip), thawed
- 1 (21-ounce) can cherry pie filling
- Graham crackers, vanilla wafers, or pretzels for dipping
Optional Add-Ins & Substitutions:
- Greek Yogurt: Swap half the cream cheese for Greek yogurt for a tangier, protein-packed option.
- Homemade Whipped Cream: Substitute Cool Whip with freshly whipped cream for a fresher taste.
- Fruit Variations: Try blueberry or strawberry pie filling instead of cherry for a different twist.
- Graham Cracker Crumble: Add crushed graham crackers to the dip for extra texture.
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. This ensures a lump-free, creamy texture.
Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix until fully incorporated and smooth.
Gently fold in the whipped topping using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix, as you want to maintain a light, airy consistency.
Transfer the creamy mixture to a serving dish and spread it evenly.
Spoon the cherry pie filling evenly over the top of the cheesecake layer, ensuring full coverage.
For best results, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld. Serve with graham crackers, vanilla wafers, or pretzels for dipping.
