This 3-Ingredient Cherry Dessert is a simple preparation and delightful flavor profile treat that can be whipped up in no time. A luscious cherry filling enveloped in a cool, creamy layer, perfect for lazy summer afternoons or as a quick dessert to impress guests.
Ingredients
Scale:
1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and whipped topping. Use a hand mixer or a whisk to blend them together until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
In a serving dish or individual cups, spread half of the cream mixture on the bottom. Smooth it out with a spatula.
Spoon the cherry pie filling generously over the cream layer, spreading it evenly.
Carefully add the remaining cream mixture over the cherry filling, smoothing it out gently.
Cover the dessert with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set properly.
Once chilled, slice into squares or serve in individual cups, garnishing if desired.
