Ingredients and Recipe Notes
- Cool Whip: This recipe calls for Cool Whip, but you can also use homemade whipped cream for a different twist. Just keep in mind that homemade whipped cream may not be as stable as Cool Whip, so adjust the quantity accordingly.
- Cherries: While cherry pie filling is the star of this recipe, you can get creative and try other pie fillings like apple or blueberry for a different flavor.
- Cream Cheese: Soften the cream cheese by microwaving it in 10-second intervals until it feels soft and creamy.
- Crust: The graham cracker crust can be easily substituted with other cookies like Oreos or Nilla Wafers for a unique twist.
