- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- ½ tablespoon lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Topping
- ½ cup cherry pie filling
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the cream cheese, Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, heavy cream, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and kosher salt. Using a hand mixer, beat the mixture together until smooth and creamy, approximately 1-3 minutes.
- Spread Mixture: Spread the blended mixture evenly in a shallow dish or bowl to prepare for topping.
