Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Mix-ins
- 1 container (8 ounces) whipped topping, thawed
- 1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling
- 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
Optional Topping
- 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers
Instructions
- Beat Cream Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency.
- Add Sweeteners and Flavoring: Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese and beat again until well combined and fluffy.
- Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until fully incorporated, keeping the mixture light and airy.
- Incorporate Cherry Pie Filling: Add the cherry pie filling carefully and fold it in gently to maintain whole cherries and preserve the fluff texture.
- Add Mini Marshmallows: Stir in the mini marshmallows gently until they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Chill: Refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the fluff to set properly.
- Serve with Topping: Just before serving, sprinkle with crushed graham crackers if desired for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- For a lighter version, use reduced-fat cream cheese and reduced-fat whipped topping.
- This fluff also makes a great dip when served with graham crackers or vanilla wafers.
