Method
- Beat softened cream cheese in a large mixing bowl until smooth and creamy.
- Add sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract, blending until the mixture is uniform and velvety.
- Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until the mixture becomes light and airy.
- Stir in the cherry pie filling, creating ruby swirls throughout.
- Fold in mini marshmallows and chopped nuts (if using).
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Notes
This dessert is highly adaptable - feel free to substitute the cherry pie filling with other fruit flavors like blueberry or strawberry. For added texture, try adding graham cracker crumbs or white chocolate chips. The dessert can be made ahead and actually tastes better the next day. Serve in a trifle dish for an elegant presentation or individual dessert cups.
