You’ll need:

For the Oreo Crust

• 1 (14.3-ounce) package of chocolate sandwich cookies (approximately 36 cookies)
• ⅓ cup salted butter, melted (plus more for greasing the pan)

For the Chocolate Cheesecake Layer

• 16 ounces of cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup of powdered sugar
• ¼ cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• ½ cup half & half (⅓ cup whole milk can be substituted)

For the Other Layers

How to Make This No-Bake Chocolate Cherry Lush Recipe

STEP ONE: Grease a 9×13-inch glass baking dish with butter and set aside.

STEP TWO: In the bowl of a food processor, pulverize the Oreo cookies until small even crumbs form. Add the melted butter to the cookie crumbs and pulse until combined.

STEP THREE: Press the crust mixture into the prepared baking dish and place it in the freezer to chill while preparing the next layer.

STEP FOUR: In a medium bowl with an electric mixer, beat together cream cheese, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and the cream. Continue beating until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.

STEP FIVE: Spread the chocolate cheesecake layer over the chilled cookie crumb layer. 

STEP SIX: Use a spatula to carefully spread each can of cherry pie filling evenly over top of the cheesecake layer

STEP SEVEN: Top with a layer of Cool Whip, reserving about a cup to pipe swirls on top of the lush if you wish.

STEP EIGHT: Spread the Cool Whip smooth. Sprinkle with chocolate sprinkles.

STEP NINE: Use a piping bag and tip #1M to pipe soft swirls of Cool Whip on top of the lush.

STEP TEN: Place the lush in the freezer to firm up for at least 2 hours.

STEP ELEVEN: Gently place a cherry on top of each piped swirl.

STEP TWELVE: Cut into pieces and serve.

• Spread the chocolate cheesecake layer over the chilled crust.
• Use a spatula to carefully spread the cherry pie filling evenly over the cheesecake layer (if the cheesecake layer appears too soft, you can chill the dish in the freezer for 15 minutes or so between each layer to help firm up the surface.
• Top with the Cool Whip, reserving about a cup to pipe swirls on top of the lush if you wish.
• Spread the Cool Whip smooth. Sprinkle with chocolate sprinkles.
• Use a piping bag and tip #1M to pipe soft swirls of Cool Whip on top of the lush.

Notes

• Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature; otherwise, you will end up with lumps in your cream cheese mixture.
• If the cheesecake layer appears too soft, you can chill the dish in the freezer for 15 minutes or so between each layer to help firm up the surface.
• Chilling even longer or even overnight would allow all the flavors to mingle and blend together even more!
