I make Cherry Pretzel Salad Dip when I am craving something cherry and a little less time-consuming than Strawberry Pretzel Salad which is a Southern staple. Dippable and Inhalable!

Ingredients

8 ounces cream cheese softened
8 ounces whipped cream or whipped topping
1 pinch salt
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup cherry pie filling homemade or store-bought
pretzel crisps for serving

Instructions

In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, sugar, and salt.
Whip with stand or hand mixer until fluffy.
Fold in the whipped cream until combined.
Store in the fridge until ready to serve.
When ready to serve, place cream cheese mixture into a serving bowl.
Top the dip with the cherry pie filling.
Serve with pretzel crisps.

Notes

The Cherry Pretzel Salad Dip has all the same ingredients as the original salad but in a dip form.
The same cream cheese, sugar, and whipped topping are the base of the dip.
A topping of cherry pie filling gives you the flavors of the jello layer without all the boiling, chilling, and waiting.
To get that buttery, salty, and crispy crust layer I use salted pretzel crisps to scoop all the tart and creamy goodness into my mouth with reckless abandon.
Less than 5 minutes and you are enjoying it! Once you get it all combined I know you will dive in like me. Diving mask not required!
