This dip is for anyone that hates to bake, is scared of baking, or is downright lazy. I say this with absolutely zero judgement for those that fall under any of these categories. As a food editor, I bake a lot of cheesecakes. I love to eat them and I don't mind making them, but they're a big production. The cooling/chill time takes forever! With this party dip, you hardly need to plan, let alone think.

Sound to good to be true? Trust me, it's not. Basically your only task in preparing this dessert is whipping together cream cheese, heavy cream, sugar and cinnamon until light and fluffy. If you want a workout, a whisk will do the job; but a hand mixer works best. Spread it into a large serving dish then top it with cherry pie filling. We used the stuff from the can, and guess what? No one cared!
