Cherry Cheesecake Lush

 Ingredients:

• 1 c. Vanilla Wafer Crumbs
• 1 c. Pecans, Finely Chopped
• 1 Stick Butter (1/2 cup), Melted
• 8 oz. Cream Cheese, Softened
• 1 c. Powdered Sugar
• 16 oz. Whipped Topping, Divided
• 2 Boxes Cheesecake Flavored Pudding, Small
• 3 c. Milk
• 1 Can Lucky Leaf Cherry Pie Filling
• 1/2 c. Pecans, Chopped

Instructions:

1. Start by preheating your oven to 350°. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, blend the vanilla wafer crumbs, finely chopped pecans, and melted butter until combined.
2. Transfer this mixture to a 9×13 inch baking pan, pressing it evenly to form the crust. Bake for 15 minutes, then allow it to cool.
3. In another bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and 1 1/2 cups of whipped topping. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Spread this evenly over your cooled crust.
4. Next, whisk together the cheesecake pudding mix, milk, and 1 cup of whipped topping until it’s smooth. Layer this over the cream cheese mix in your pan.
5. For the cherry layer, gently spread 1 can of Lucky Leaf Cherry Pie Filling over the pudding layer. Top this with the remaining whipped topping and sprinkle with 1/2 cup of chopped pecans.
6. Refrigerate your Cherry Cheesecake Lush Dessert for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set
