Expert Tips
- You can use ANY pie filling (cherry, blueberry, apple…and this dessert is delish with any of them).
- If you can get your hands on fresh cherries or want to make a homemade cherry pie filling with frozen, you can. But homemade isn’t required: you can actually just use a can of pie filling if you prefer!
- Make sure to chill this to set – it’s great to make ahead because of that reason.
- Want to use fresh whipped cream instead of cool whip? Beat 1 1/2 cups of heavy whipping cream with 2 tablespoons powdered sugar and then gently fold it into the cheesecake mixture.
