We served this dessert to welcome in the New Year. It was a huge hit. It’s so easy to make and will feed a crowd.
We love cheesecake, and this is so delicious with a vanilla wafer crust and a pudding and cream cheese filling. You family is going to love this.
what other pie filling could you make this recipe with?
I love cherries. Especially in the summer time, there is no better fruit. I love when they pop in my mouth and how sweet and delicious they taste.
If you are looking for a simple and delicious cherry recipe, this is definitely one you need to try. If you don’t like cherries, or can’t eat them for some reason, don’t panic, you can easily substitute them for another pie filling.
Here ar a few that we recommend:
- Strawberry Pie Filling
- Apple Pie Filling
- Raspberry Pie Filling
- Blueberry Pie Filling
- Rhubarb Pie Filling
Really any favorite pie filling would work for this recipe. You could also use fresh fruit if you are looking for a lower sugar, option.
what could i use instead of pecans?
I love the sweet and savory combination with the pecans and the fruit, in this dessert. It also adds a nice crunch.
But if you don’t have any on-hand, or you have an allergy, you could easily replace it. We recommend a different nut (maybe not peanuts) or graham crackers.
I have made this with vanilla wafers and it was absolutely delicious. Then I just crumbled up a few on top for garnish, and it looked just as tasty.
