Ingredients

Crust:

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons white sugar
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup butter, softened
1 cup chopped pecans

Filling:

2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 (12 ounce) container frozen whipped topping (such as Cool Whip®), thawed
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste

Topping:

2 (21 ounce) cans cherry pie filling

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Whisk flour, sugar, and salt together in a medium bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blender, a fork, or your fingers until crumbly; stir in pecans. Press crust mixture evenly into an ungreased 9x13-inch baking pan.
Bake crust in the preheated oven until golden, about 20 minutes. Let cool.
Meanwhile, beat confectioner's sugar and cream cheese together in a large bowl until combined. Fold in thawed whipped topping; stir in vanilla bean paste.
Spread cream cheese filling over cooled crust; top with cherry pie filling. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
