Easy Cherry Cheesecake Fluff

Servings: 8-10 | Prep time: 10 mins | Chill time: 1 hour

Ingredients

  • Cream Base: 8 oz Cream cheese, softened to room temperature

  • Sweetener: 1 cup Powdered sugar

  • Vanilla: 1 tsp Vanilla extract

  • The “Fluff”: 8 oz Whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed

  • Fruit: 21 oz can Cherry pie filling

  • Texture (Optional): 2 cups Miniature marshmallows

  • Garnish: Fresh cherries or crushed graham crackers

Instructions

  1. Cream the Base: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until the mixture is completely smooth and free of lumps.

  2. Add the Fluff: Gently fold in the whipped topping using a spatula. You want to keep the mixture light and airy, so avoid over-mixing.

  3. Fold in Cherries: Add the cherry pie filling (and marshmallows, if using). Gently fold them into the cream mixture until you see beautiful red swirls throughout.

  4. Chill: While you can serve this immediately, it is best if chilled in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. This allows the flavors to meld and the fluff to firm up slightly.

  5. Serve: Scoop into individual bowls. Top with a few fresh cherries or a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs for that authentic cheesecake crunch.
