Ingredients
- Cream cheese softened
- Whipped topping such as Cool Whip
- Sweetened condensed milk
- Cherry pie filling
- Mini marshmallows
- Vanilla extract
- Powdered sugar optional, for added sweetness
Instructions
Prepare the Cream Cheese Base
- – In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. This step is crucial to ensure there are no lumps in your fluff.
Add the Sweeteners
- – Pour in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract. Mix well until everything is fully incorporated. If you prefer a sweeter taste, you can sift in a small amount of powdered sugar at this stage.
Fold in the Whipped Topping
- – Gently fold in the whipped topping using a spatula. This step helps create the light and fluffy texture that makes this dessert so irresistible. Be careful not to overmix, as you want to maintain the fluffiness.
Incorporate the Cherry Pie Filling
- – Add the cherry pie filling and gently stir it into the mixture. You can fully blend it for an even color or lightly fold it for a marbled effect.
Add the Mini Marshmallows
- – Toss in the mini marshmallows and give everything a final gentle stir. They add an extra layer of texture and sweetness to the fluff.
Chill Before Serving
- – Transfer the mixture to the refrigerator and let it chill for at least an hour. This allows the flavors to meld together and gives the fluff its signature creamy consistency.
Serve and Enjoy
- – Once chilled, serve in dessert cups, as a dip with graham crackers, or even as a filling for a no-bake cheesecake. Enjoy your Cherry Cheesecake Fluff as a light and luscious treat!
