Cherry Cheesecake Fluff

For the Cherry Fluff:

  • 1 (21 oz) can cherry pie filling
  • 1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapple, drained
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup shredded coconut (optional)
  • 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Cheesecake Mixture

  1. Beat the cream cheese: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it is smooth and creamy. This will ensure that your fluff has a silky texture.
  2. Add powdered sugar and vanilla: Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until fully incorporated. Then, mix in the vanilla extract. This will add sweetness and enhance the flavor of the cream cheese.
  3. Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until the mixture is light and fluffy. Be careful not to overmix, as this can cause the fluff to lose its airy texture.

Step 2: Combine the Fluff Ingredients

  1. Add cherry pie filling: Carefully fold the cherry pie filling into the cheesecake mixture. The cherries will add a burst of color and a delightful fruity flavor.
  2. Incorporate crushed pineapple: Drain the crushed pineapple thoroughly to avoid excess moisture, then gently fold it into the mixture. The pineapple will add a tangy sweetness that complements the cherries and cream cheese.
  3. Mix in mini marshmallows: Add the mini marshmallows to the mixture, folding until they are evenly distributed. The marshmallows will add a chewy texture and a hint of extra sweetness.
