Ingredients in Cherry Cheesecake Dip
Cream cheese – This is what makes the dip so rich and creamy. You can use any variety of cream cheese (regular, non-fat, or low-fat). Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before mixing with the other ingredients.
Powdered sugar – Powdered sugar will sweeten up the cream cheese while keeping it smooth.
Cool Whip – Non-dairy whipped topping is a key ingredient in the dip. Make sure to thaw the Cool Whip before folding it into the dip.
Cherry pie filling – You can’t have cherry cheesecake without the cherries! You can use a different flavor of pie filling if you prefer – strawberry, apple, blueberry, and raspberry are all great options!
Butter – Use 2 tablespoons of melted butter to mix with the graham cracker crumbs.
Graham cracker crumbs – Crush about 3 graham crackers to yield about 1/2 cup of crumbs.

How do you soften cream cheese?
Cream cheese is easy to soften – you can set it out at room temperature or soften it more quickly in the microwave.
-To soften at room temperature more quickly, just set the cream cheese on a plate and cut it into smaller pieces. The cream cheese should reach room temperature in about 15-20 minutes with this method.
-To soften the cream cheese in the microwave, remove the foil packaging and set the cream cheese in a small bowl or on a plate. Microwave for about 10-15 seconds. If the cream cheese is still cold and hard, continue to microwave for about 5 seconds at a time until the cream cheese is soft throughout. Just make sure not to microwave it too long or it will start to melt!

Place the graham crackers in a zip-lock bag. Close the bag and use a rolling pin or meat tenderizer to crush the crackers until there are no large pieces and there are fine crumbs. Alternatively, you can put the crackers in a food processor or blender to crush.
