Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can cherry pie filling
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 ½ cups vanilla wafer crumbs
- 1 stick butter (1/2 cup), melted
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup finely chopped pecans
- ½ cup chopped pecans (for the top)
- 3 cups milk
- 2 small boxes cheesecake flavored pudding mix
- 16-ounce container whipped topping
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the vanilla wafer crumbs, 1 cup finely chopped pecans, and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13 inch pan to form the crust. For a baked crust: Bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes, then refrigerate until cooled to room temperature. For a no-bake crust: Refrigerate for at least 1 hour until firm.
- In a separate mixing bowl, blend the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and 1 1/2 cups of whipped topping until smooth. Spread this mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
- In another bowl, whisk together the cheesecake pudding mix, milk, and 1 cup of whipped topping until smooth. Spread this evenly over the cream cheese layer in the pan.
- Top with the cherry pie filling, then spread the remaining whipped topping over the cherries. Sprinkle the top with 1/2 cup chopped pecans.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the layers to set and flavors to meld.
