Ingredients
- Cream cheese: Softened to room temperature for a smooth, creamy base.
- Powdered sugar: Adds a touch of sweetness and blends easily into the dip.
- Vanilla extract: Enhances the flavor.
- Marshmallow creme: Gives the dip a light, fluffy texture and added sweetness.
- Whipped topping: Lightens the mixture and makes it extra airy and scoopable.
Step By Step Instructions
Step 1. In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the cream cheese on medium speed until it’s smooth, creamy, and light in texture.
Step 2. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the bowl. Beat until well combined, making sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed for an even mix.
Step 3. Gently fold in the marshmallow fluff by hand until it’s fully blended into the mixture. Then add the whipped topping and stir together until the mixture is light and smooth.
Step 4. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly into your chosen serving dish, smoothing the top with a spatula. Spoon the cherry pie filling over the cream cheese layer and gently spread it out to cover the surface evenly.
- Step 5. Finally, cover and allow to chill in the fridge for 1โ2 hours before serving. Serve with your favorite dippers. We love graham crackers (honey, cinnamon or chocolate graham crackers), vanilla wafers, shortbread cookies or fresh fruit slices for dipping.
Storage
Refrigerate: Store the dip in an airtight container or tightly covered with plastic wrap. Keep it refrigerated until ready to serve.
Shelf life: Best enjoyed within 3โ4 days for optimal freshness and texture.
Make-ahead: You can prepare the dip a day in advance. Add the cherry topping just before serving if you prefer a fresher look.
Do not freeze: This No Bake Cherry Cheesecake Dip doesnโt freeze well, as the texture can become watery once thawed.
Pro Tips
- Soften the cream cheese: Make sure itโs at room temperature to avoid lumps and ensure a smooth, creamy texture.
- Use a hand mixer: Beating with a mixer helps incorporate air and makes the dip extra light and fluffy.
- Fold gently: When adding marshmallow creme and whipped topping, fold gently to keep the mixture airy.
- Chill before serving: Letting the dip chill for 1โ2 hours helps the flavors meld and improves texture.
- Customize the topping: Swap cherry pie filling for blueberry, strawberry, or a mix of fresh berries for variety.
- Serve with variety: Offer graham crackers, vanilla wafers, pretzels, or fresh fruit for dipping options everyone will enjoy in this creamy dip.
- Make it festive: Add sprinkles, mini chocolate chips, or team-colored toppings for holidays or themed events on top of the cherry filling.
