Of course! Cherries are great but you can easily make it with strawberries, bananas, or a fun berry mixture as well. Basically any type of fruit that you’re craving is going to work out just fine.
What happens if I don’t let my cream cheese soften enough?
If you fail to let your cream cheese get to room temperature, you’re going to have a lumpy mixture on your hands. And what this means is that it’s still going to be delicious but there will be bites where you’ll get a total cream cheese taste.
