Mix the cheesecake layer: Beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Fold in the whipped topping until well combined. Spread over the crust.

Prepare the pudding (if using): Whisk the pudding mix and milk together for 2–3 minutes until thick. Spread over the cream cheese layer.

Add cherry topping: Spoon cherry pie filling over the top and gently spread into an even layer.

Chill: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to allow the layers to set and flavors to meld.

Serve: Slice into squares and garnish with extra whipped topping, crushed cookies, or fresh cherries if desired.

💡 Tips & Variations

Make it lighter: Use reduced-fat cream cheese, light whipped topping, and sugar-free pudding.
Make it richer: Add a layer of chocolate ganache or drizzle chocolate syrup on top.
Change it up: Try with different pie fillings — blueberry, lemon, or raspberry are all excellent alternatives.
