Ingredients

  • 2 cups of miniature marshmallows
  • 1 can 21 ounces cherry pie filling
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ½ cup finely chopped pecans or walnuts optional
  • 1 container 8 ounces whipped dessert topping, thawed
  • 1 package 8 ounces cream cheese, brought to room temperature
  • 1 can 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

  • In a spacious mixing bowl, whip the softened cream cheese until completely smooth and creamy in texture.
  • Incorporate the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract into the bowl, blending thoroughly until the mixture is cohesive and silky.
  • Carefully fold the whipped topping into the mixture, working gently to maintain its airy consistency.
  • Gently stir in the cherry pie filling, optionally leaving streaks for a marbled appearance.
  • Mix in the miniature marshmallows and, if desired, sprinkle in the chopped nuts for added crunch and texture.
  • Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for a minimum of 2 hours to allow the dessert to chill and the flavors to meld.

Notes

Refrigeration beyond 2 hours enhances the fluffiness. Best served cold. Nuts can be omitted for a nut-free variation.
