- 8 ounces softened cream cheese
- 13-ounce jar marshmallow fluff
- 8 ounces Cool Whip
Topping
- 21-ounce can cherry pie filling
Serving
- Graham crackers (for serving)
Instructions
- Beat Cream Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, creating the creamy base for the dip.
- Add Marshmallow Fluff: Add the jar of marshmallow fluff to the cream cheese. Continue beating until the mixture is well combined and smooth, enhancing the sweetness and texture.
- Fold in Cool Whip: Gently fold in the Cool Whip until fully incorporated, taking care not to overmix to preserve the fluffiness and light texture of the dip.
- Transfer to Serving Dish: Spoon the cream cheese mixture into a serving dish or bowl, spreading it out evenly for a smooth, level surface.
- Top with Cherry Pie Filling: Spoon the cherry pie filling evenly over the cream cheese mixture, creating an attractive and flavorful cherry topping layer.
- Serve or Chill: Serve immediately with graham crackers for dipping, or cover and refrigerate for about 30 minutes if you prefer a chilled dip before serving.
Notes
- The dip can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours, making it ideal for preparing ahead of time.
- For a lighter version, substitute Cool Whip with light whipped topping.
- Use fresh raspberries or blueberries as alternative toppings for variation.
- If the cream cheese is not softened, microwave it in short 10-second bursts to soften it for easier mixing.
- Serve with a variety of dippers such as pretzels or fresh fruit slices for added texture and flavor options.
