Ingredients
– 1 can cherry pie filling
– 8 oz cream cheese, softened
– 1 box yellow cake mix
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1/4 cup powdered sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Whipped cream (optional, for serving)
Equipment Needed
– 9×13 inch baking dish
– Mixing bowl
– Electric mixer (or a whisk, if you’re feeling strong!)
– Rubber spatula
– Measuring cups and spoons
Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In my kitchen, I’ve learned that getting the oven ready first makes everything flow smoother. Next, spread the cherry pie filling evenly on the bottom of your baking dish. The beautiful red color instantly brightens up your kitchen! Now, in a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer—it’s quicker and easier, but you can totally whisk it by hand if you prefer. Beat these together until it’s nice and creamy, just like I love mine! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
