Cherry Cheesecake Dip

Do you know someone who LOVES cheesecake as their go-to dessert for every occasion? If that is you, you will love this sweet dip.

We made it one Christmas Eve dinner and pleasantly surprised our cheesecake-loving guests. I laughed when one called us on Christmas and said they would come over to eat the dip with a spoon.

They skipped the graham crackers and loaded big scoops of the cherry cheesecake dip onto plates to enjoy with a spoon.

Ingredients

Here is a quick overview of the simple ingredients needed to make an epic No Bake Cherry Cheesecake Dip! The printable recipe card at the bottom of the post includes specific measurements and step-by-step instructions.

• Cream Cheese
• Sweetened Condensed Milk
• Cool Whip Whipped Topping
• Cherry Pie Filling 

Favorite Dippers: Graham Crackers, Vanilla Wafers, Cookies, Pretzels, Apple Slices

Cream Cheese - Make sure to set the cream cheese out for a couple of hours so it can reach room temperature and be really soft. This will make it a lot easier to make this dessert dip.

Cool Whip - You can use any type of Cool Whip you have available. Check out all of our Cool Whip Recipes

Cherry Pie Filling - This recipe can easily be adapted to use strawberry pie filling, blueberry pie filling, or your favorite pie flavor.

Optional Topping - Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs around the edges.

Equipment Needed

• Hand Mixer - We used a hand mixer and it worked great. A stand mixer would also work just make sure to use a spatula to scrape the sides of the bowl.
• Large Mixing Bowl - We are big fans of this glass batter bowl that has a handle. It makes it easy to mix ingredients and keeps the mixing bowl steady on the counter.
• Large Serving Dish

How to make Cherry Cheesecake Dip

I've included complete instructions in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post, but here's a quick version.

Add softened cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk to a large bowl. Use a hand mixer to beat the cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk until light and fluffy. The cheesecake mixture should be light and airy.

Add in Cool Whip and gently fold the whipped topping into the mixture until evenly combined.

Spread the mixture into a large baking dish. When you spread the cream cheese mixture, try to make it higher on the sides and leave an area in the middle for the cherry pie filling.

Evenly spread the cherry pie filling in the serving dish. We like to leave some of the cream cheese mixture showing around the edges for a fun look.

Store in the fridge until ready to serve.

Preparation and Storage

Make Ahead:

Set the cream cheese on your kitchen counter for a few hours to reach room temperature and soften. This step will make making this dessert dip much easier.

You can make this no-bake Cherry Cheesecake Dip beforehand. Leave out the cherry pie filling until you are ready to serve.

Storage: 

Refrigerate this dessert dip in an airtight container and enjoy it within three to five days.

Freezing/How to Freeze:

We do not suggest freezing this dip. It contains dairy ingredients, which turn grainy when frozen and thawed.
