Ingredients:
- 36 Vanilla cookies about 2 cups when crushed
- 2 21 oz can cherry pie filling
- 1 cup pecan chopped
- 1/3 cup salted butter melted
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- cheese softened to room temperature
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 packs of instant pudding with cheese flavor
- 3 cups whole milk
Instructions:
- Set aside a 9 x 13 glass baking dish that has been buttered.
- Crush vanilla sandwich cookies in the bowl of a food processor until small, even crumbs form. Pulse in the melted butter until it is all mixed.
- Place the cookie mixture in a greased baking dish and chill for 10 minutes while you prepare the next layer.
- Cream together cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla, and 1 cup of frozen whipped topping with a hand mixer or in the bowl of a standing mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Return the cream cheese mixture to the freezer for another 10 minutes after spreading it over the chilled cookie crumb layer.
- 6. Combine both packets of pudding mix, milk, and 12 cups of frozen whipped topping in a mixing bowl with a whisk or beater. Whisk until the mixture becomes homogeneous and begins to thicken.
- Chill for 30 minutes, or until the pudding has set, after spreading the pudding layer over the cold cream cheese layer.
- Over the chilled pudding layer, pour cherry pie filling. Spread it out carefully so it doesn’t get mixed up with the layers underneath.
- Top with the remaining whipped topping gently. Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours after topping with chopped pecans.
- After it cools well, takes it out, cut it and serve it immediately.
