Ingredients
- 1 (9-inch) pre-made graham cracker crust
- 1 (3.4 oz) box instant butterscotch pudding mix
- 1 cup cold milk
- 1 (8 oz) tub Cool Whip, thawed
- 1/2 cup butterscotch chips (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- Whipped cream, for topping (optional)
- Butterscotch sauce, for drizzle (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the pudding – In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the butterscotch pudding mix and cold milk until thickened (about 2 minutes).
- Fold in Cool Whip – Gently fold in the Cool Whip until fully combined and smooth.
- Add extras – If using, stir in the butterscotch chips and chopped pecans for extra texture.
- Fill the crust – Pour the mixture into the graham cracker crust and spread evenly.
- Chill – Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to set.
- Garnish & serve – Before serving, top with whipped cream, a drizzle of butterscotch sauce, and extra butterscotch chips if desired.
Notes
- For a homemade crust: Mix 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs with ¼ cup melted butter and 2 tbsp sugar. Press into a pie dish and chill before filling.
- Make it extra fluffy: Add an extra ½ cup Cool Whip for an even lighter texture.
- Flavor twist: Swap butterscotch pudding for vanilla or caramel pudding for a different taste.
