Scale
Dip Base
- 8 ounces softened cream cheese
- 13-ounce jar marshmallow fluff
- 8 ounces Cool Whip
Topping
- 21-ounce can cherry pie filling
For Serving
- Graham crackers
Instructions
- Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Add Marshmallow Fluff: Add the entire jar of marshmallow fluff to the cream cheese. Continue beating until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
- Fold in Cool Whip: Gently fold the Cool Whip into the cream cheese and marshmallow mixture until fully incorporated. Be careful to fold gently to preserve the fluffiness of the dip.
- Assemble the Dip: Transfer the creamy mixture to a serving dish or bowl, spreading it out evenly to create a smooth surface.
- Add Cherry Pie Filling: Spoon the cherry pie filling evenly over the top of the cream cheese mixture, covering it completely.
- Serve: Serve immediately with graham crackers for dipping. Alternatively, cover the dip and refrigerate for 30 minutes to chill before serving for a firmer texture.
Notes
- You can prepare this dip a few hours ahead and refrigerate it to enhance the flavors.
- For a different fruit flavor, substitute cherry pie filling with blueberry or strawberry pie filling.
- Use low-fat cream cheese or light Cool Whip for a lighter version, but the dip may be less creamy.
- Graham crackers are the classic pairing, but sliced apples or pretzels work well too.
- Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature for smooth mixing.
