Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 (21 ounces / 595 grams) can cherry pie filling
- 2 cups (100 grams) mini marshmallows
Dairy and Creamy Components:
- 8 ounces (227 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1 (8 ounces / 227 grams) container whipped topping (Cool Whip), thawed
- ½ cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
Flavor and Crunch Components:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup (50 grams) graham cracker crumbs (optional, for a cheesecake-like crunch)
Optional Garnish:
- Additional whipped topping
- Fresh cherries or graham cracker crumbs
Instructions
- Whip the cream cheese with granulated sugar in a spacious mixing vessel until achieving a velvety, uniform consistency, approximately 2-3 minutes, incorporating vanilla extract for enhanced flavor profile.
- Delicately integrate whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture, ensuring complete incorporation without deflating the airy texture.
- Gently introduce cherry pie filling, carefully folding to preserve the cherries’ structural integrity, then tenderly blend in mini marshmallows and graham cracker crumbs for textural complexity.
- Transfer the concoction into a sealed container, allowing it to rest and harmonize flavors in the refrigeration zone for a minimum of 60 minutes, enabling ingredients to meld and fluff to stabilize.
- When ready to serve, portion the ethereal mixture into elegant serving vessels, artfully embellishing with additional whipped topping, pristine fresh cherries, or a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs to elevate visual appeal and gustatory experience.
Notes
- Soften cream cheese at room temperature for 30-45 minutes to ensure smooth, lump-free mixing and easier blending with other ingredients.
- Use full-fat cream cheese for richer, more luxurious texture and deeper flavor profile in the fluff.
- Fold ingredients gently to maintain airy, light consistency and prevent deflating the whipped topping’s volume.
- Customize the dessert by swapping cherry pie filling with other fruit options like strawberry, blueberry, or mixed berry for variety and personal preference.
