    Ingredients to make cheesecake dip with cherry pie filling on the table.
    • Cream cheese: For the classic cheesecake flavor!
    • Powdered sugar: This fine grain sugar easily dissolves into the dip ingredients.
    • Frozen whipped topping: Lightens the cheesecake dip making it light and fluffy.
    • Marshmallow cream: For extra creaminess, lightness and helps the dip keep its shape.
    • Flavor: Lemon juice adds some acid to balance out the sweetness while the vanilla adds a bit of warming flavor to the cheesecake base.
    • Cherry pie filling: An easy ingredient to add the cherry on top! You won't need the whole can initially but after eating some of the dip you can add more to the top for more cherry flavor.

    Substitutions and Variations

    • Change the flavor: It's easy peasy to swap the cherry pie filling for another flavor. Experiment with blueberry, apple, strawberry, raspberry or your favorite pie filling.
    • Add some nuts: Sprinkle some chopped peanuts, hazelnuts, almonds, pecans, or walnuts to give it some added crunch.
    • Add graham cracker crumbs: Sprinkle over the top to make it more like cheesecake.
    • Add Chips: Add chocolate chips, caramel chips, butterscotch chips or white chocolate chips to the top of mix it into the creamy dip.

    Storage

    • Refrigerator: Store leftover cherry cheesecake dip in an airtight container for up to a week.
    • Freezer: Freezing this dip isn't recommended. The texture will change making it grainy and unappetizing.
    • Make ahead: Prepare the cheesecake dip up to a day in advance. Store it in a serving bowl or in individual dessert cups. Wait to add the cherry topping until right before serving.

    Tips

    • Use an electric hand or stand mixer for mixing. It makes it easier to blend together the cream cheese and powdered sugar.
    • Chill the dip for at least 30 minutes before serving. It's best served cold so that it's plenty thick for the best scooping.
    • Always use room temperature ingredients when making this dish for best results.
    • Use full-fat cream cheese for the best flavor and texture.

    FAQ

    Why can't cherry cheesecake dip be frozen?

    It's made with cream cheese and powdered sugar. When frozen ice crystals form in the mixture, making it grainy.

    Can I use reduced fat cream cheese or whipped topping to make this dip?

    Yes, you can substitute reduced fat cream cheese and/or reduced fat whipped topping if you want. However, keep in mind that the texture of the dip may be slightly different with these reduced fat ingredients.
