Project Six: Cherry Cheesecake Dip

The night before Thanksgiving, I made three desserts. My Pinterest dessert was a Cherry Cheesecake Dip and was pretty easy to make!

The recipe, by Lisa Lohwasser, is:

1 Box Jello No-Bake Cheesecake mix
1 Container Cool Whip
1 Can Cherry Pie Filling

Mix Jello No-Bake Cheesecake mix with one container of Cool Whip. Chill. Top with a can of cherry pie filling. Serve with graham crackers.

Here are my ingredients:

I poured the cheesecake mix into the bowl first. Since it was powder, it would have probably been better to put the Cool Whip into the bowl first. I tried mixing it by hand which did not work well either. My husband grabbed the mixer and that worked much better.

I put the mix into a pretty serving bowl. A packet of graham cracker crumbs also comes with the mix. I planned on garnishing around the edges of the dip, but poured way too much. I went ahead and poured the packet over the top of the dip and put it into the fridge overnight. I waited until right before dinner to pour the cherries.

While the recipe did not call for the graham cracker crumbs, I think it really made the dip. I served with Scooby Snacks graham cracker sticks. Everyone seemed to really like it. I would give this recipe a two thumbs up. It was easy and tasty!
