- Powdered sugar adds additional sweetness while thickening the dip to a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Cream cheese provides the base for the dip. Let it soften at room temperature first for best results.
- Cherry pie filling is poured over the cream cheese filling to complete this dip. Canned pie filling works beautifully.

Recipe FAQs
Yes, it’s easy to change up the flavor of this cheesecake dip. Simply swap out the cherry pie filling for another fruity pie filling. Blueberry, peach and apple pie fillings would all be delicious.
Leftover dip can be covered tightly with plastic wrap and stored in the fridge. The dip is best enjoyed within 1 -2 days.
The dip can be served right away after adding the cherry topping. We do find that it tastes best when given at least a few minutes to chill in the fridge, but it’s not strictly necessary.

Brown sugar did not dissolve be for the mixture started bubbling. Odd color from the brown sugar and much too sweet. A miss in my household
Hmmm, sounds like the heat was turned up to high on stove. Or maybe the brown sugar wasn’t fresh?
