Description
This Cherry Cheesecake Dip is a creamy and indulgent dessert dip that perfectly combines the tangy flavor of cream cheese and Greek yogurt with the sweetness of cherry pie filling. Quick to prepare and chilled to set, it makes a delightful treat served with cookies or fresh fruit slices.
Ingredients
For the Dip
- 1 8-ounce package cream cheese (room temperature)
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- ½ tablespoon lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Topping
- ½ cup cherry pie filling
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the softened cream cheese, plain Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, heavy cream, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and kosher salt. Using a hand mixer, beat the mixture until it’s completely smooth and creamy, which should take about 1 to 3 minutes.
- Spread the Dip: Transfer the creamy mixture into a shallow dish or serving bowl, spreading it evenly to create a nice base for the topping.
- Chill the Dip: Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the dip to set.
- Add Topping and Serve: Before serving, top the chilled dip evenly with the cherry pie filling. Serve immediately alongside cookies, graham crackers, or fruit slices for dipping.
Notes
- For best results, ensure cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the dip.
- You can substitute cherry pie filling with other fruit pie fillings like blueberry or strawberry if desired.
- Keep the dip covered and refrigerated until ready to serve to maintain freshness.
- This dip pairs well with graham crackers, vanilla wafers, apple slices, or strawberries.
