Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Make sure there are no lumps for a smooth texture.
Step 2: Add Sugar and Vanilla
Gradually add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Continue to mix until well combined and smooth.
Step 3: Fold in the Whipped Cream
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
Step 4: Add Cherry Pie Filling
Carefully fold in the cherry pie filling, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the mixture without overmixing.
Step 5: Serve or Chill
Serve the cherry cheesecake fluff immediately, or chill in the refrigerator for a couple of hours for a firmer texture.

You can top the fluff with additional whipped cream or fresh cherries for extra flavor and presentation.
Note 3: Storage
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
