Instructions

Beat Cream Cheese: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy to create a creamy base for the dip.
Add Sugar and Vanilla: Mix in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until fully combined and the mixture is creamy and uniform.
Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture, taking care not to deflate it, ensuring a light and smooth texture.
Spread Mixture: Evenly spread the cheesecake mixture into a shallow serving dish or pie plate for a neat presentation.
Add Cherry Topping: Spoon the cherry pie filling over the cheesecake layer and spread it evenly for an attractive and flavorful finish.
Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld. Serve chilled with graham crackers, vanilla wafers, or fresh fruit for dipping.

Notes

You can substitute homemade whipped cream for the whipped topping if desired for a fresher taste.
Try using different pie fillings such as blueberry or strawberry to vary the flavor.
