WHAT GOES INTO CHERRY CHEESECAKE FRUIT FLUFF?
- Cream Cheese
- Cheesecake Pudding Mix, though if you can’t find that just use vanilla.
- Vanilla extract
- Milk
- Cool Whip, if you prefer not to use cool whip, you can use homemade cool whip, which is stabilized with gelatine.
- Cherry Pie Filling
- Mini Marshmallows
It’s so simple and so easy to throw together.
TIPS FOR THIS CHERRY CHEESECAKE FLUFF
Does it seem super ridiculous to give you tips for a simple recipe? Guys. We are all at different abilities. Don’t judge. Some of us can’t even ball a melon.
- Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature. I like to a fill a small bowl with water, microwave it for 5 minutes, empty it, and then put that over the cream cheese that is still in the foil wrap but out of the cardboard box. Even right out of the refrigerator that brings it to room temperature in about 10 minutes.
- As mentioned above, I used cool whip, but you could certainly make homemade whipped cream and then stabilize it following this great recipe from Something Swanky.
- If you watch the video for this, you will see that I didn’t mix the cool whip in with the beater before adding the cherries and marshmallows. That was so I could get that pretty picture of all the ingredients in the bowl you see above. Don’t be like me, guys. Whip the cool whip in with the cream cheese and other liquid ingredients before adding the cherries and marshmallows.

Becky Johnson says
Would it be possible to put the recipe FIRST and all in one place? Yes,I would like to see the other recipes you are promoting, but AFTER the one you are originally talking about!! Thank you
Becky, what recipe are you looking for that you are having trouble finding?
Kim Vargas says

Vicki Jamieson says
Strawberry pie filling would be delicious too ! ????
Michelle says
Instead of milk, do you think you could add a can of crushed pineapple with the juice?
I haven’t tried that Michelle, but if you do, I’d love to hear how it goes!
DOTTY AURORA says
Just finished making and I’m thinking it will go straight into the trash. It’s thick and sticky! I added additional milk and it’s still thick? The color represents Pepto-bismal. I tasted it and it’s got virtually no flavor. I used the cream cheese pudding along with premium cherry pie filling. Disappointed! I was dreaming about this dessert.
I’m so sorry that you didn’t like this, Dotty. I really liked it a lot, but of course tastes vary.

This recipe is amazing and easy! It has been requested at every family get together since I made it the 1st time. I absolutely LOVE all the recipes on Wine and Glue, they are perfect for mom’s that are too busy to spend 4 hours preparing a meal but still believe in the family getting together around the table for dinner. Lisa, you are a life and time saver!
I’m so glad you liked it Jess! This comment absolutely made my day. Readers who come back over and over for recipes (especially those who take the time to leave a comment like this) fill my heart with joy. Thank you!
