Cherry Fluff

Dessert salads are always favorite at summer barbeques and potlucks. I often make my Creamy Fruit Salad or a Strawberry Banana Salad because most everyone enjoys fruit. This Cherry Fluff is always a hit with my friends and family and always disappears quite quickly. I will often make a double batch for that reason.

Cherry Fluff is so simple to make, especially when pressed for time, you can even make it ahead of time. No skills are needed, and the results are always amazing. I mentioned above that the salad includes cream cheese. The combination of the cream cheese and pie filling make this dish more dessert-like

The fluff in this salad comes from the whipped topping and the addition of the mini marshmallows. The cream cheese adds creaminess. The pie filling adds real flavor.

The ingredients needed to make Cherry Fluff.

How To Make Cherry Fluff

The first step to making this fluff will be to cream your very soft cream cheese with a hand or stand mixer. Mix until the cream cheese is very fluffy and creamy. Then, add the sugar and vanilla. Continue to beat until all ingredients are well blended.

I like to refrigerate my Cherry Fluff Salad for about an hour before serving although chilling is not necessarily needed.

Tips for making the Best Cherry Cheesecake Fluff:

  • Be sure to allow the cream cheese to soften almost to room temperature before beating — the creamier the cream cheese, the better the texture and flavor.
  • I like to use cherry pie filling for this fluff recipe because I find that most everyone likes cherry desserts, especially cheesecake. But, any flavored pie filling will result in a tasty salad.
  • Go ahead and make your fluff ahead of time. You will find that the fluff holds its flavor and consistency for about 2-3 days if covered and chilled.
