Ingredients
Scale
Dip
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (not from concentrate)
- 2.5 cups Cool Whip
- 14 ounces cherry pie filling
For Serving
- Graham crackers
- Sugar cookies (optional)
- Pretzels (optional)
- Fruit pieces (optional)
- Shortcake pieces (optional)
Instructions
- Beat the Cream Cheese: In a medium to large mixing bowl, use electric beaters to beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and soft, approximately 30 seconds.
- Add Powdered Sugar: Add the powdered sugar to the cream cheese and continue beating until the mixture is fluffy, about 1 minute.
- Add Flavorings: Add vanilla extract and lemon juice to the mixture, and beat again for an additional minute until well combined.
- Fold in Cool Whip: Gently fold the Cool Whip into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula until the dip is homogenous and creamy. Transfer this combined dip to a serving dish.
- Add Cherry Topping: Spoon the cherry pie filling evenly over the top of the cream cheese dip. Optionally, crumble some graham crackers over the top as a garnish.
- Serve: Serve the dip immediately or chilled, accompanied by graham crackers, sugar cookies, pretzels, fruit pieces, or shortcake slices for dipping.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier blending and a smooth dip texture.
- This dip can be prepared a few hours ahead and refrigerated to enhance flavors.
- For a lighter version, substitute Cool Whip with light whipped topping.
- If you prefer a tangier flavor, increase lemon juice slightly to taste.
- Use cherry pie filling with whole cherries for better texture and presentation.
