Smooth and sweet, this Cherry Cheesecake Dip is the perfect way to celebrate! Whether it’s an snack or dessert, add some cookies for dipping fun!
Here is the truth about this dip.
I was craving cheesecake. But I didn’t want to make one. I knew I could whip up one of my favorite No Bake Cheesecakes, but honestly?
I wanted a snack. Something that didn’t limit me to one slice. haha!!!
In other words, my sweet tooth was out of control and I needed something to dip. Because let’s face it, that’s the whole point of dips and cheeseballs.
The freedom to keep going. To keep dipping.
Granted, I had to share this with other people, so I tried to step away a little bit.
But those gingersnaps with this dip are amazing. My kids loved the mini nilla wafers.

Brown sugar did not dissolve be for the mixture started bubbling. Odd color from the brown sugar and much too sweet. A miss in my household
Hmmm, sounds like the heat was turned up to high on stove. Or maybe the brown sugar wasn’t fresh?
