Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup cherry pie filling
  • 1/2 cup whipped topping (optional, for a fluffier texture)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base: Start by beating softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl until smooth and creamy. This ensures a lump-free, rich foundation for the dip.
  2. Add Sweeteners and Flavor: Mix in powdered sugar and vanilla extract with the cream cheese, blending well to create a sweet and fragrant mixture that complements the cherries perfectly.
  3. Incorporate Sour Cream or Whipped Topping: Fold in sour cream for a light tang or whipped topping for a lighter, airy texture. Blend carefully to keep the mixture smooth and fluffy.
  4. Gently Fold in Cherry Pie Filling: Add the cherry pie filling gently, mixing to keep the cherries intact and maintain vibrant colors, creating a beautiful marbled effect.
  5. Chill Before Serving: Refrigerate the dip for at least 1 hour to meld the flavors and allow the texture to firm up for the best deliciousness.

Notes

  • Ensure cream cheese and sour cream are at room temperature for smoother blending.
  • Taste the dip before chilling and adjust powdered sugar to your preference.
  • Use high-quality cherry pie filling or fresh pitted cherries for optimal flavor and texture.
  • Fold cherries gently to avoid breaking them and preserve aesthetics.
  • Chill the dip at least an hour to enhance flavor and texture.
