Main Ingredients
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature Provides a creamy base and rich flavor.
  • 1 box instant cheesecake pudding mix (3.4 ounces) Adds sweetness and thickening.

Preparation
  1. Beat the cream cheese in a large bowl with a hand mixer until smooth.

  3. Add the thawed whipped topping to the cream cheese mixture and beat until combined.
  4. Stir in the cherry pie filling and mini marshmallows until evenly distributed.

Make sure the cream cheese is softened for easier mixing and consider adding a splash of vanilla extract for deeper flavor. It's best chilled for enhancing flavors. Store any leftovers tightly covered for up to three days.
