Ingredients
Scale
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped topping
- 1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling
- Graham crackers, pretzels, or fresh fruit for dipping
Instructions
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Fold in the Whipped Topping: Gently fold in the whipped topping with a spatula until well combined. This will make the dip light and fluffy.

- Top with Cherry Pie Filling: Spoon the cherry pie filling over the top of the cream cheese layer, spreading it evenly.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes before serving. Serve with graham crackers, pretzels, or fresh fruit for dipping.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, you can substitute vanilla extract with almond extract.
- To make a healthier version, use low-fat cream cheese and replace the whipped topping with Greek yogurt.
