WHAT GOES INTO CHERRY CHEESECAKE FRUIT FLUFF?

  • Cream Cheese
  • Cheesecake Pudding Mix, though if you can’t find that just use vanilla.
  • Vanilla extract
  • Milk
  • Cool Whip, if you prefer not to use cool whip, you can use homemade cool whip, which is stabilized with gelatine.
  • Cherry Pie Filling
  • Mini Marshmallows

It’s so simple and so easy to throw together.

TIPS FOR THIS CHERRY CHEESECAKE FLUFF

Does it seem super ridiculous to give you tips for a simple recipe? Guys. We are all at different abilities. Don’t judge. Some of us can’t even ball a melon.

  1. Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature. I like to a fill a small bowl with water, microwave it for 5 minutes, empty it, and then put that over the cream cheese that is still in the foil wrap but out of the cardboard box. Even right out of the refrigerator that brings it to room temperature in about 10 minutes.
  2. As mentioned above, I used cool whip, but you could certainly make homemade whipped cream and then stabilize it following this great recipe from Something Swanky.
  3. If you watch the video for this, you will see that I didn’t mix the cool whip in with the beater before adding the cherries and marshmallows. That was so I could get that pretty picture of all the ingredients in the bowl you see above. Don’t be like me, guys. Whip the cool whip in with the cream cheese and other liquid ingredients before adding the cherries and marshmallows.

OTHER GREAT DESSERTS FOR A PICNIC

I have so many desserts on this blog that would be perfect to bring along to a picnic or get together!

  • These Very Vanilla Cookie Bars are a super old recipe that I just love. They are soft, delicious, a total cheating baking recipe, and another perfect one for kiddos to make.
  • These Caramel Brownies are always always always a hit wherever I take them.
  • Of course, if you are hooked on fluff, you must make this Pina Colada Fluff and my Strawberry Banana Fluff Salad.
  • And finally, this Zucchini Sheet Cake is perfect for a summer party!

    Do I have to put in Cream Cheese🤔

      I haven’t tested this recipe without the cream cheese. I think you are going to find that it isn’t thick enough without it.

      I haven’t tested that, but I can’t think of a reason why that wouldn’t work.

    Lisa is it possible to get a Nutritional count on the Cherry Cheesecake Fluff?

    Thank you so much

      This is an older recipe that we don’t have nutritional information for, but I love using MyFitnessPal to calculate the nutrition of recipes that aren’t my own. It’s a free app and works great.

    I just made this and it’s a sticky blob. I followed the recipe to a t. I haven’t added the cherries or marshmallows yet because I can’t stir it. HELP

      Without being there it’s hard to know what is off. I would add the cherries, as the liquid from the filling will help thin things out.
