- 2 small boxes cheesecake-flavored instant pudding mix
- 3 cups whole milk
- 2 large cans cherry pie filling

How To Make Cherry Cheesecake Lush:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of butter and set aside.
- In a food processor, crush the golden Oreos into fine crumbs. Add the melted butter and pulse until well combined.

- Spread the cream cheese mixture over the chilled cookie crust, then return the dish to the freezer for another 10 minutes.
- In another bowl, combine the instant pudding mix with the milk and 1/2 cup of whipped topping. Whisk until the mixture begins to thicken.
- Spread the pudding mixture over the chilled cream cheese layer, smoothing it evenly. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or until the pudding is set.

- Spread the remaining whipped topping over the entire dessert, covering it completely.
- Top the dessert with chopped pecans or walnuts.
