Cherry Cheesecake Fluff

👩‍🍳 Directions

Beat the cream cheese – In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to beat softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Add sweetness – Gradually mix in powdered sugar and vanilla until fully combined.
Fold in whipped topping – Gently stir in the whipped topping until light and fluffy.
Mix the good stuff – Add cherry pie filling, mini marshmallows, and pecans (if using). Stir gently to combine.
Chill and serve – Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Enjoy! – Give it a quick stir before serving. It’s best served cold and perfect for sharing.

🍒 Variations & Tips

✨ Fruit swap: Try blueberry, strawberry, or raspberry pie filling instead of cherry.
✨ Tropical twist: Mix in crushed pineapple and shredded coconut.
✨ Nut-free: Skip the pecans or replace them with chopped pretzels for a salty-sweet crunch.
✨ Lighter version: Use reduced-fat cream cheese and light whipped topping — still fluffy and delicious!
✨ For extra flair: Serve in individual dessert cups and top with an extra spoonful of pie filling or crushed graham crackers.
