Description

A delicious and easy-to-make No-Bake Butterscotch Lush Dessert that layers creamy butterscotch pudding, cream cheese, and a graham cracker crust.


Ingredients

  • 3 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 10 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ¾ cup powdered sugar
  • 8 oz whipped topping, thawed
  • 2 boxes (3.4 oz each) instant butterscotch pudding mix
  • 3 cups cold whole milk or half-and-half
  • 8 oz whipped topping, thawed
  • ½ cup butterscotch chips or toffee bits
  • ¼ cup chopped pecans, optional
  • Butterscotch or caramel sauce, optional

Instructions

  1. Make the crust: Combine graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and melted butter. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish. Refrigerate or freeze for about 20 minutes to firm up.
  2. Make the cream cheese layer: Beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Gently fold in 8 oz whipped topping.
  3. Layer: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled crust.
  4. Make the pudding: Whisk the instant butterscotch pudding mixes with cold milk for 1–2 minutes, until thick. Let stand for a few minutes to thicken further.
  5. Add pudding: Carefully spread the butterscotch pudding over the cream cheese layer.
  6. Top with whipped cream: Spread the remaining whipped topping evenly over the pudding.
  7. Garnish: Sprinkle with butterscotch chips, toffee bits, and chopped pecans. Drizzle with butterscotch or caramel sauce if desired.
  8. Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 4–6 hours, preferably overnight, so the layers set firmly.
