Cherry Cheesecake Dip Recipe

This recipe is one of my favorites! You’ve got velvety cream cheese, whipped cream, marshmallows, and cheesecake pudding all working together to make something pretty unforgettable. This one's a hit at holiday gatherings, potlucks, or just hanging out with the family. Prep is quick, and the fridge does the rest. Make it the night before and watch it disappear with a box of graham crackers on the side.

This dessert nails that creamy cheesecake flavor without all the fuss. No baking, no water baths, and no chance of cracks.

You’ll love how light and fluffy it turns out, thanks to the whipped cream and pudding. It's not too rich, and the marshmallows give it a subtle sweetness and fun texture.

The cherry topping is classic, but you could swap it with any pie filling you like. Blueberry, strawberry, or even lemon would work just as well.

Kids love it, adults come back for seconds, and it only takes about 15 minutes of hands-on time. Keep it cold until serving and it’ll hold its shape like a dream.
