Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 package cream cheese, room temperature Soften it before mixing for the best texture.
  • ½ cup granulated sugar Consider using powdered sugar for a smoother finish.
  • 1 can cherry pie filling Look for high-quality cherries in a light syrup for a more natural flavor.
  • 1 container whipped topping, thawed If you prefer homemade, whip your own heavy cream sweetened with a bit of vanilla.
  • 1 bag mini marshmallows These add extra fluffy texture and sweetness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature (about 30 minutes) to ensure it mixes well. Thaw your whipped topping in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar. Using a hand mixer, beat the mixture on medium speed for about 2 minutes until it’s smooth and fluffy.
  3. Gently fold in the cherry pie filling using a spatula. Next, fold in the thawed whipped topping and mini marshmallows until everything is well combined.
  4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the refrigerator. Chill for at least 1 hour (or longer) before serving.
  5. When ready to serve, spoon the Cherry Cheesecake Fluff into individual cups or a large bowl. Garnish with extra cherries or crushed graham crackers.

Notes

Chill for at least one hour, or ideally overnight for better flavor. Avoid overmixing to keep the fluff light and airy.
