Ingredients
Dip Base
- 1 brick (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tub (8 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed at room temperature
- 1 container (7 oz) marshmallow cream
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Garnish
- ½ cup cherry pie filling (or more for topping as desired)
Instructions
- Blend Cream Cheese and Sugar: In a medium mixing bowl, use an electric hand or stand mixer to blend the powdered sugar and softened cream cheese together. Initially, the mixture will be crumbly, but continue mixing for about 2-3 minutes until it becomes smooth and creamy.
- Add Remaining Ingredients: Incorporate the thawed whipped topping, marshmallow cream, lemon juice, and vanilla extract into the cream cheese mixture. Mix until the dip is smooth, thick, and fully combined.
- Chill the Dip: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the dip to firm up slightly.
- Serve with Topping: Once chilled, transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Spoon the cherry pie filling over the top as a garnish. Serve immediately with pretzels, graham crackers, or your preferred dipping snacks.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the dip.
- Thaw the whipped topping completely at room temperature before mixing for best texture.
- For a tangier dip, you can increase the lemon juice slightly.
- Store leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Try different pie fillings like blueberry or strawberry for variety.
