Are you craving an easy 5 ingredient no-bake dessert?

Well, look no further than this cherry cheesecake dip!

This recipe is so easy to throw together and whips up in just 10 minutes!

I topped mine with cherry pie filling to really give it that classic cheesecake appearance.

For dipping, I like graham crackers the best but pretzels, chips, cookies, and even fresh fruit are all great dipping options.

If you’re craving chocolate try using chocolate graham crackers as dippers – so good!

Ingredients to make Cherry Cheesecake Dip on a table.

Ingredients for cherry cheesecake dip

  • Cream cheese – This is the base of the dish and what makes this dip a “cheesecake” flavored dip. I like to use full-fat cream cheese but low-fat should work.
  • Heavy whipping cream – We’re using heavy whipped cream because after it’s whipped and folded into the cream cheese it creates a lusciously smooth and fluffy dip.
  • Powdered sugar – This adds sweetness to the dip that is needed to take it from cream cheese to cheesecake!
  • Vanilla extract – Just a touch for added flavor. You could also use almond extract in its place or use vanilla bean paste.
  • Cherry pie filling – This is used to top the dip and give it a classic cheesecake look. If you’re not a fan of cherry pie filling try using strawberry, blueberry, or raspberry pie filling.

Using a different pie filling

Not a fan of cherry pie filling?

That’s totally fine and you can ideally use whatever pie filling you like the best!

For the summer raspberry, blueberry, and strawberry pie filling are all great options!

For fall I think apple pie filling would be super delicious!

Using Cool Whip instead of whipped cream

Don’t have the time to whip your own cream?

No worries! You can easily substitute Cool Whip for homemade whipped cream.

You should get around 2-2/3 cup whipped cream if you do it by hand so just replace the homemade whipped cream with 2-2/3 cup Cool Whip and you should be set.

Cool Whip is sweeter than homemade whipped cream so you can leave out a little bit of the powdered sugar if desired.

Preparing cheesecake dip in advance

You can prepare this dish 1 day (24 hours) in advance.

I like to spread on the pie filling right before serving.

Serving your dish at a party

This is a dish that is best served cold.

Not only because it contains dairy but also because it tastes best chilled.

You can safely keep this dish out for around 2 hours in mild room temperature settings – think 70-72 degrees, not in the sun.

If you’re taking this to a party make sure to set it out right before serving or after 2 hours place it back in the fridge to chill before serving it again.

Storage and leftovers

If you’re anything like me, this cheesecake dip will be hard to resist! Once I start dipping, I can’t stop!

However, if you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
