Step 1: Prepare the Pan and Crust
Butter a 9×13-inch baking dish and set aside.
Crush the Golden Oreos into small crumbs using a food processor.
Add melted butter and pulse until combined.
Press the cookie mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared dish.
Freeze the crust for 10 minutes while preparing the filling.
Step 2: Make Cream Cheese Layer
In a bowl, beat together cream cheese, sugar, vanilla (if using), and 1 cup of whipped topping until smooth.
Spread this mixture evenly over the chilled cookie crust.
Return to the freezer for another 10 minutes.
Step 3: Prepare Pudding Layer
In another bowl, whisk together pudding mix (2 packages), whole milk, and ½ cup whipped topping until the mixture begins to thicken.
Spread the pudding evenly over the chilled cream cheese layer.
Chill for 30 minutes or until set.
Step 4: Add Cherry and Whipped Topping Layers
Carefully spoon cherry pie filling over the pudding layer without mixing the layers.
Spread the remaining whipped topping over the entire dessert.
Step 5: Finish and Chill
Sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts on top.
Chill the assembled dessert for 1 to 2 hours before serving.
