In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
Gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Carefully stir in the cherry pie filling, mini marshmallows, and chopped pecans (if using), making sure everything is evenly combined.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the fluff to set.
Before serving, give the fluff a gentle stir. Serve chilled and enjoy this creamy, fruity treat!
Enjoy!
