Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 8 oz softened cream cheese
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)

Topping

  • 1 cup cherry pie filling

Instructions

  1. Soften and Whip the Cream Cheese: Start by placing the softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl and beating it until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
  2. Add Sweetness and Vanilla: Mix in powdered sugar gradually and then add vanilla extract, continuing to beat until everything is fully combined and silky.
  3. Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold in the whipped topping using a spatula, being careful not to overmix so the dip stays light and fluffy.
  4. Chill for Best Results: Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 1 hour; chilling allows the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up beautifully.
  5. Add the Cherry Topping Before Serving: Spoon the cherry pie filling over the chilled dip just before serving to keep the colors vibrant and the cherries fresh.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese to avoid lumps and achieve a smooth base.
  • Beat the cream cheese and sugar thoroughly for a light texture without graininess.
  • Fold in whipped topping gently to preserve air and maintain fluffiness.
  • Chill for at least 1 hour to let flavors blend and dip thicken.
  • For a fresher taste, use fresh cherries tossed with a bit of sugar instead of canned pie filling.
