Delicious cherry pie with a crumbs crust. It tastes wonderful when served warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Reviews
We loved the flavor of this dip. I did add considerably more half and half to get it too the consistency we like. The whole family thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing your recipe!
I scaled this down by 8, and made a small cup to try. The whole family loved it, it was gone in seconds. Tastes very close to our favorite Mexican Restaurant locally that just closed ☹ we found our queso dip fix!
This was so so good! It stayed nice and soft for a long period of time, so we didn’t have to keep reheating like other pre-made queso. I cut the recipe in half the first time to try it out. I add a bit more jalapeños and cumin to suit our taste. Definitely will keep making!
This has just the right amount of heat, not hot enough for my hubby, yet perfect for me. It is so easy to make, really works well in a small crockpot
I love it thank you easy to make
