Variations

- Making cheesecake dip with marshmallow fluff is a great base recipe. You don’t have to top it with only cherry pie filling. You can use any flavor of pie filling like strawberry, blueberry, apple, or peach.
- You can also try topping it with things like caramel drizzle, chocolate fudge, or fresh berries for a unique twist.
- Mix in crushed Oreos, chopped nuts, toffee bits, or mini M&M’s to add texture and flavor.
- Add in a small amount of cocoa powder to the cheesecake dip with cool whip mixture to turn it into a chocolate cherry cheesecake dip!
Leftovers & Storage
You can keep this dip or any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
Tips & Tricks
- Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before mixing. This will help you to get a smooth and lump-free mixture.
- Be sure your whipped topping is thawed before making this recipe. Otherwise it will also be more challenging to mix.
- When mixing the whipped topping, be sure to use a gentle folding motion to keep its light and fluffy texture.
- You can use a stand mixer or a hand mixer to blend the cheesecake dip base ingredients together. If you don’t have either, you can just use a spatula or mixing spoon. It will just take a bit more work on your part.
- If you’re looking to make this dip for a part or celebration, you can also give it a more elaborate layored trifle look by spreading half the cream cheese mixture, adding half the cherry pie filling, then repeating layers. This looks great in a glass serving bowl for parties.
- You can also substitute the cream cheese with greek yogurt in this creamy dip recipe. It might be a bit thinner in texture and have a little tangier flavor.
