Step 4: Blend in the Vanilla and Whipped Topping

Stir in the vanilla extract.
Next, gently fold in the whipped topping and mix until the filling becomes pale, billowy, and cloud-like.
Be gentle—you don’t want to deflate the airiness.

Step 5: Add Mini Marshmallows

Fold in the mini marshmallows.
They add soft, chewy bites that make every spoonful interesting and comforting.

Step 6: Add the Cherry Pie Filling

This is where the magic happens.
Pour in the cherry pie filling and fold it gently through the mixture.
You can:

• Fully combine it for a soft pink fluff, or
• Swirl it for a marbled effect with bright ribbons of cherry

Either way, the tart cherries balance the sweetness beautifully.

Step 7: Chill Before Serving

Cover the bowl tightly and chill for at least 1 hour.

This helps the flavors meld, the marshmallows soften slightly, and the entire dessert firm up to the perfect texture.

🍒 Serving Suggestions

You can serve Cherry Cheesecake Fluff in so many cozy ways:

• In small dessert bowls topped with a spoonful of extra cherry filling
• Layered in parfait cups with crushed graham crackers for a true cheesecake vibe
• In a large trifle dish for parties
• Scooped with vanilla wafers or shortbread cookies

For extra charm, sprinkle a little crushed graham cracker on top before serving—it adds a buttery, crunchy contrast.
