lyssa’s Pro Tip
Don’t Like Cool Whip? If you prefer whipped cream, whip 1½ cups heavy cream with 3 tablespoons powdered sugar to stiff peaks. Then fold it into the cream cheese as directed.

Leftover & Make Ahead InstructionsFridge: Store leftover cherry cheesecake fluff in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Freezer: N/A—fluffs aren’t for freezing!Make Ahead: The fluff requires at least 1 hour of chilling, but you can prepare it up to 4 hours ahead of serving. It is best served the same day it is made, so I would avoid preparing further than 4 hours in advance.Nutrition
