How to Make Graham Cracker Butterscotch Pudding Dessert

GRAHAM CRACKER CRUST

In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter together.
Press the mixture into an 8×8, 9x9 or 9x13 dish. Flatten the mixture using the bottom of a flat glass. Place in the freezer for 30 minutes.

CREAM CHEESE LAYER

In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar using a hand mixer. Fold in 8 ounces of Cool Whip. Spread over graham cracker crust.

BUTTERSCOTCH PUDDING LAYER

Combine the milk and pudding mix and whisk together for 1 to 2 minutes, or until smooth and thickened. See option for 9x13 pan in recipe for doubling butterscotch pudding.
Pour over cream cheese layer.

TOPPINGS

Spread remaining Cool Whip on top and sprinkle with toffee bits, chopped Butterfinger bars, shaved chocolate, salted caramel or butterscotch sauce drizzled on top
Refrigerate for several hours before serving.
Store leftovers in refrigerator if any are to be had! 🙂

Storing Butterscotch Pudding Dessert

Keep this butterscotch cream cheese dessert in the refrigerator before and after it's served.
Simply cover the dish with plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for three to five days.

Tips

Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature. Room temperature allows you to whip it easier and lump-free.
Whisk your pudding and milk together really well so it's creamy and mixed well.
Chill this graham cracker butterscotch pudding dessert for several hours before serving or overnight. It also allows it to thicken and makes it easier to cut into slices.
You have the option of making your own freshly whipped cream, but we went with Cool Whip because it was easy and already prepared. If you do use heavy whipping cream, you'll need a total of 2 cups + ½ cup powdered sugar to stabilize it to get the right texture. Whip it until it becomes like whipped cream texture.
We added toffee bits sprinkled on top, but some salted caramel sauce on top or some shaved chocolate would taste absolutely dreamy!

So, who's ready to dig into this graham cracker butterscotch dessert? This will make the fam happy!!
