You guys are simply amazing!! I love following you and seeing what you come up with next!! Keep it up!! If you get a chance, check out my page on FB. 🙂 I made some red velvet cupcakes with red velvet frosting tgat I adapted from your Scarlet Frosting into a buttercream for my red velvet cupcakes which turned out absolutely amazing!! Thanks for the Inspiration!
LOVE this idea!! So simple but so incredible!
Dangerously easy, this could spell trouble!
What a cool idea! Now I’m thinking strawberries, orange slices, kumquats, blackberries…*drools*
Love! I wish there weren’t the pits, though… 🙁
I wish so too Anita! 😉
You can always use maraschino cherries. She did say that the pits were optional.
Yep, pits are part of fresh Cherries no matter how you eat them. This method will work just fine with pitted Cherries in the jar if you’d like. 🙂
This is so clever I can’t stand it!
YUM! i made these today for my husband’s birthday party.. he loves cherry cheesecake and I wasn’t feeling confident enough to make a real one! anyway, thank you so much for posting these– they’re delicious! and i’m excited to impress the birthday party guests with them!
YAY! I’m so glad you made them..I hope everyone loves them! 🙂
I would take the even easier way and use the premade cheesecake filling in a tub!
Oh YES!! I like the way you think..lol! 🙂
I love the way you think!!!! I may have to make a run to the grocery and make these yummies tonight!!!
OMGOODNESS! I planned to do something exactly
Like this with strawberries and gluten free… If my pictures are as good ill share with ya 🙂 My 6 year old prince and I made my strawberries similar from Independence Day, except we use res and blue sprinkles instead of graham crackers.
Yes..I’d love to see them, hope you enjoy them! 🙂
Will this work with strawberries?
YES…YESSSS! 🙂
OMG…….They are just to die for!!! They are just so good plus easy enough for the kids to help out!!
I can not wait to try this!! I’m going to use cherries, strawberries AND blueberries as I will be making them for a family gathering where I know there are many different likes/dislikes. Thank you so much for the GREAT idea!!
Enjoy them! 🙂
These look amazing!! especially now that strawberries are mentioned!! I hate to be a downer but do you have nutritional value listed somewhere? I would love to make these but I don’t wanna mess up with the weight loss progress ive made with ww….thank you!!
So sorry..but I don’t have the values for them, you could always look each component up on ww~SO happy you like them! 🙂
This will just have to be one of those times for a “little indulgence”! Moderation will be the key. I myself have been on a weight loss program since January. Sometime we just need a “little indulgence”! Then it’s full steam ahead!!!
Someone shared an abbreviated version of this on Facebook today, and I wanted to “see” the full version. It took a while to find your blog, and I just wanted to let you know that I am enjoying reading your blog a lot. I love to read cook-books, too. The photos on your blog, along with this recipe is a really nice touch! I will definitely have to try this recipe! Keep up the good work!
Thanks Linda..so glad you found me! 🙂
Amy, Can you direct me to your blog?
Thanks so much, Cecelia 🙂
You’re here. 🙂
Some one shared the pics on facebook. I got so excited I’ve been dreaming about these .. for real. So here are some places my dreams have landed me. Kit bars in cheese cake, anything you can put a toothpick in as a handle covered with cheese cake. Oh my, I best stop now before you think I’ve lost my mind. Not sure how watermelon, cantelope, or honey dew mellon will work out, but I’m going to give them a try as well.
Thanks for sharing your ideas!!!!!
HAHA…start with the Kit Kats for sure..awesome ideas! 🙂
I definitely using strawberries this weekend for Easter:) I think I’ll try fat free cream cheese with powdered sugar…. Any other ideas to cut some fat & sugar??
I think you covered it..sounds great! 🙂
Ok I need some input…. I want to make these for a fun cookout with friends, I am thinking of soaking the cherries in vodka first!!! Thoughts?!?
My only thoughts are where and when is this cookout…hahaha. 🙂
I LOVE this idea for both Cherries and Strawberries! One question I have is I want to serve them at a party and wanted to know how well fresh / freshly pitted Cherries will hold up in this recipe? For instance if I want to prep the night before or earlier?
I’d maybe just gather the components, keep the Cream Cheese cold of course..and dip them close to serving! 🙂
