- Use a food processor or blender to chop the cherries: This will help to create a smooth and creamy texture for the Cherry Delight.
- Use a stand mixer or hand mixer to beat the cream cheese and sugar together: This will help to create a light and fluffy mixture.
- Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture gently: This will help to prevent the whipped cream from deflating.
- Chill the Cherry Delight for at least 2 hours before serving: This will help to set the flavors and make the Cherry Delight easier to slice.
