🍒 Cherry Cheesecake Fluff 🥄
Ingredients
1 package (8 oz/225g) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 container (8 oz/225g) whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
1 can (21 oz/595g) cherry pie filling
Graham cracker crumbs or crushed cookies for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Cheesecake Base
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to mix until fully combined and fluffy.
Step 2: Fold in the Whipped Topping
Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula. Mix until the texture is light and airy, ensuring no streaks remain.
Step 3: Layer the Cherry Topping
Spread the cheesecake fluff evenly into a serving dish or individual dessert cups.
Spoon the cherry pie filling over the top, creating a beautiful, glossy layer.
Step 4: Garnish and Serve
For added texture, sprinkle graham cracker crumbs or crushed cookies over the top.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
