Step-by-Step Instructions
First, I start by mixing the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract in my mixing bowl until it becomes a smooth and creamy mixture. The aroma of vanilla fills my kitchen, and trust me, you want to get this part right. Once it’s smooth, gently fold in the cherry pie filling, allowing some chunks of cherries to remain visible for that pop of flavor. This gives the filling a beautiful look—it’s always such a treat to see those vibrant red cherries peeking through. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
