Easy, creamy NO BAKE Cherry Cheesecake Dip is one of the easiest AND most delicious desserts/appetizers that comes together in minutes! The perfect make ahead, stress free, crowd pleaser for all your holiday parties!

I had no intention of posting this Cherry Cheesecake Dip recipe until closer to Christmas because I have so many other recipes to post before Thanksgiving, but after my husband and I inhaled gingersnap after gingersnap smothered in the luxuriously creamy dip, we both agreed how perfect it would be for Thanksgiving.

As I lamented to Patrick that my editorial calendar just doesn’t have room for this dip this month, he said, “but you have to share this before Thanksgiving!  It’s the best appetizer AND dessert ever!”  And if you knew what a food critic Patrick is, that statement carries a lot of weight.

I knew what had to be done.  Patrick loves this dip because of the taste.  I love this dip – and YOU will love this dip – not only because of the taste but because it literally takes 8 MINUTES to whip together AND is better made in advance so it really is the perfect make ahead dessert = less stress on party day!

Easy, creamy NO BAKE Cherry Cheesecake Dip is one of the easiest AND most delicious desserts/appetizers that comes together in minutes! The perfect make ahead, stress free, crowd pleaser for all your holiday parties!

I got the idea for this Cherry Cheesecake Dip from mini cherry cheesecakes I used to make for baby showers, Christmas goodie plates, etc.  You have probably seen the old school recipe with one saucy cherry, from a can of cherry pie filling, topping a mini cheesecake.  And for whatever reason, that chilled cherry crowning that cheesecake is magical.  Channel that magic into an even creamier dip and we have crowd pleasing appetizer that is sure to become a staple at all your holiday parties!

To make this Cherry Cheesecake Dip, first place your can of cherry pie filling in the refrigerator.  The cherries taste the absolute best when chilled, so as soon as you get your filling, place it in the refrigerator until you need it.

Next, beat your softened cream cheese until nice and smooth then beat in your sugar, splashes of lemon juice and vanilla.  Finally, add your sour cream and heavy cream and beat on medium high speed until thick and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes then pour into a serving dish.

If you are in a bind, you can add the cherries and serve the dip right then but the cheesecake sets up and tastes even better if its allowed to chill for at least one hour – and even better after 24 hours so you can truly make it and forget it until go time.

Spoon your cherries over top before serving and you’ve just made the prettiest, delightfully rich yet refreshingly light, talk-of-the-party dessert.  And it took you less than 10 minutes.  Now that’s a reason to party.

    What brand of pie fillings do you use? Can you think of any flavors other than cherry filling that this would work with?! Thanks!!

      I personally wouldn’t do it with canned cranberries but if you want it to taste like lots of cranberries and be sweet tart then it can work.
