• ⅓ cup salted butter, melted
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature

• 3 cups whole milk
• 2 large cans of cherry pie filling
• 1 cup chopped pecans or chopped walnuts

2. In a food processor, crush the golden Oreos until small crumbs form. Add the melted butter and pulse until combined.
3. Press the cookie mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, making the layer as even as possible. Place the crust into the freezer for 10 minutes while you prepare the filling.
