4. Chill:
Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours (or overnight) to allow the layers to set and the flavors to meld together. The longer it chills, the easier it will slice cleanly.
5. Serve:
Cut into squares and serve chilled. Each bite delivers the perfect balance of sweet cherries, creamy cheesecake, and buttery pecan crunch. Add a dollop of whipped cream on top if you’re feeling extra indulgent!
Tips
- Crust Options: Substitute graham crackers with Biscoff cookies, shortbread, or chocolate wafers for a unique twist.
- Make It Nut-Free: Omit the pecans and replace them with crushed pretzels or extra graham crumbs.
- Flavor Variations: Try blueberry, raspberry, or strawberry pie filling instead of cherry for different flavor profiles.
- Storage: Keep covered and refrigerated for up to 4 days. This dessert also freezes beautifully for up to 2 months — thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.
Sweet, creamy, and topped with juicy cherries and crunchy pecans, this Cherry Pecan Cheesecake Lush is an easy showstopper dessert that brings a taste of indulgence to any table. 🍒🥜✨
