Cherry Cheesecake Dip (+Video)
No-Bake Cherry Cheesecake Dip is the ultimate dessert dip! Easier than making a cheesecake but all the flavor! Serve with graham crackers.
A SWEET AND CREAMY DESSERT DIP
I love dips. Well, actually, I love finger foods and potlucks. I’m kind of a grazer. I like to eat a little bit of everything. Pile my plate high with a bunch of samplings of food and I’m a happy gal. Normally there are all kinds of savory dips but it’s kinda nice to bring something sweet to the table. And this one couldn’t be easier to make. Or to eat. And the bonus? This dip can be made ahead of time and you just let it chill in the fridge until you’re ready to dig in.
TIPS FOR MAKING THIS DELICIOUS DIP:
- I’m using a cherry pie filling here but really you could use any kind you love. Strawberry and blueberry would both work well. It is such a light and fluffy dip. It’s not overly sweet.
- You could even use this same recipe as a no-bake pie if you like. You are gonna love this dip and your friends and family are gonna love eating it!
- Try using different type of dippers. Fruit, chocolate graham crackers and animal crackers all work. For a sweet and salty twist, try using pretzels!

I can’t wait to try this! My only question is: Has anyone tried this with strawberries? Wondering if I warmed some up with a little sugar on the stove first, then cooled it down before putting on top?
Don’t heat the berries!! just slice and add sugar. Keep in fridge for a few hours till they begin to make a syrup. Before serving drain off all the syrup and then place them on top of the dip.and you are ready to wow!
SO GOOD. I ended up doing two sticks of cream cheese, one large cool whip and one large thing of the fluff, and a large can of cherry comstock- I figured any left over ingredients would either be consumed alone or wasted. It’s DELISH. I haven’t taken it to the party yet, but I snuck a few scoops. So good. I’m serving with snickerdoodles and graham crackers.
Hi April! Woo hoo! No one needs to know you snuck some ahead of time – you are my kinda gal! Ha! Thank you for letting me know you like it!
Cannot see that lasting too long – yummy.
I am gonna make these for my kiddos today. Thanks for sharing this recipe

making me hungry
Sounds delicious! Pinning to save!
Fluff and creme or cream are the same thing. I've purchased them all at one point or another! = )
Is creme the same as fluff?
I serve a dip like this, less the cherries with fruit. It usually disappears quickly. Mimi
Made for a party tomorrow night – so very, very quick and delicious! I can already tell that this will become a go-to recipe for those days when I need something yummy for PTA meetings, family reunions, parties, etc. Thanks!
I made this today to serve tomorrow . I hope it will keep like that. Should I let it sit out before serving?
Thank you so much for answering my questions Brandie and Nancy, I'm really grateful xxx
This looks lovely but we don't have cool whip in the UK so what else could I use instead please? Also what does cool whip taste like ? Thank you, Meli xxx
Do you have dream whip? That would be close.
Use about one cup of whipped
whipping cream that has been slightly sweetened to taste. That is about 4 ounces of the cream before whipping.
Joanne – hee hee! Melanie, it's a stabilized cream. Not sure what you have that is comparable. We have lots of folks from the UK on here so maybe someone will have a suggestion! Shirley – oh my gosh – yes!!
This would also be great with chocolate covered graham crackers!
is it half of a 7.5 ounce of marshmallow fluff or is it just 7.5 ounces all together?
I am reading this while cooking dinner, and this dip is making me hungry!! I could eat this by myself.
This looks like a serving for one…ME!! With the ingredients, this would be hard to stop eating!! Pinning it!!
It's half of a regular sized jar of marshmallow fluff. It ends up being about a cup or so, measured. Hope that helps 🙂
Do you use 1 oz of the cream cheese or 8 ounces?
Hi Linda! It is one (8 oz) block of cream cheese. Hope that helps! 🙂
