Ingredients

  • 8 oz brick cream cheese softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup vanilla greek yogurt or sour cream
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • 3.4 ounce package vanilla pudding mix
  • 8 ounce container of frozen whipped topping thawed
  • 21 ounce can cherry pie filling
  • Graham crackers for serving (optional)

Instructions

  • Add the softened brick of cream cheese to a large bowl with a hand mixer, OR the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
  • Beat the cream cheese until soft and fluffy, then turn off the mixer.
  • Add in the greek yogurt (or sour cream) and milk. Beat the mixture until smooth and uniform, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Once everything is well combined, add in the full pouch of vanilla pudding mix. Mix well to combine.
  • Turn off the mixer and remove the beaters. Add the full container of thawed whipped topping, and gently fold it in using a silicone spatula.
  • Once the topping is folded in, spread it into a deep 9” square or round dish, OR a medium-sized trifle dish.
  • Spread the mixture into an even, smooth layer.
  • Add the can of pie filling and spread it out evenly, all the way to the edges.
  • Serve immediately OR allow to chill for 30 minutes - 2 hours to firm up slightly.
  • Serve with fruit, graham crackers, or in small bowls.

Notes

Adapted from: Jamie's Kitchen Blessings (no longer online)
If you’re serving a crowd or would like to completely fill a trifle dish (the recipe as is would fill it halfway), double the recipe.
Pie filling: Cherry pie filling is used in the recipe, but you can use whatever pie filling you like best!
Storing: Store your cheesecake salad in an airtight container OR tightly wrapped in the refrigerator. Store for up to 3 days.
