Cherry Cheesecake Dip
Description
This recipe starts by crushing honey graham crackers into fine crumbs spread evenly in a baking dish to form the dip’s base. A mixture of softened cream cheese and marshmallow fluff is then folded carefully with thawed whipped topping to form a light, fluffy cheesecake-like layer. Using a spatula, this creamy mixture is gently smoothed over the graham cracker crumbs without disturbing them. The final layer is cherry pie filling spread evenly on top, providing a bright, fruity contrast. The dip is refrigerated for at least an hour to firm up before serving.
When served, additional graham crackers are broken up to use as dippers. The combination of smooth cheesecake dip, crunchy cracker base, and sweet cherry topping creates a layered dessert with varied textures and flavors.
The recipe notes clarify that the whipped topping amount equals two 8-ounce tubs or the equivalent homemade version.
Ingredients
- 1 box honey graham crackers
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 7 ounces marshmallow creme fluff
- 6 cups whipped topping thawed (store-bought or homemade)
- 42 ounces cherry pie filling
Instructions
- Crush one sleeve of graham crackers into tiny crumbs and smooth them out in a 9-inch x 13-inch baking dish. Do not pack the crumbs down.
- In a bowl, mix together softened cream cheese and the jar of marshmallow fluff. Mix well.
- Fold in the cool whip one tub at a time. Make sure you are mixing the ingredients very well using a spoon or spatula. Do not use a hand mixer or stand mixer.
- Using a clean spoon or offset spatula, gently smooth the cheesecake mixture over the graham cracker crumbs. (You will want to work from the outside in and make sure you are moving large amounts. The crumbs are not stuck to the bottom of the pan so you will need to work gently or you will end up mixing the crumbs into your cheesecake dip.)
- Top the cheesecake layer with cherry pie filling. Carefully spread the pie filling all over the top.
- Chill until ready to serve, at least 1 hour.
- To serve, break up the remaining 2 sleeves of graham crackers for dippers
Notes
- Use two 8-ounce tubs of whipped topping or prepare homemade whipped topping to equal 6 cups for the dip.
