Description
Butterscotch Heaven Pie is a luscious layered dessert with a graham cracker crust, rich butterscotch pudding, a sweetened cream cheese filling, and fluffy whipped topping — a no-bake favorite that’s as decadent as it is simple.
Ingredients
- 1 graham cracker crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 (3.4 oz) package instant butterscotch pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 (8 oz) tub whipped topping (Cool Whip), thawed
- Optional: ¼ cup butterscotch chips or crushed toffee bits for garnish
Instructions
- If using homemade crust: mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter, press into a pie dish, and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8 minutes. Let cool completely.
- In a bowl, whisk together the pudding mix and cold milk until thickened. Set aside.
- In another bowl, beat cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth.
- Fold in half the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture.
- Spread the cream cheese layer evenly over the crust.
- Layer the butterscotch pudding over the cream cheese layer.
- Top with remaining whipped topping and smooth out.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight until set.
- Before serving, garnish with butterscotch chips or toffee bits if desired.
Notes
- Use homemade whipped cream instead of Cool Whip for a fresher taste — stabilize it with gelatin if making ahead.
- Add a chocolate or nut layer for variation.
- Skip baking if using a store-bought crust.
- Not suitable for freezing due to texture changes.
- Use gluten-free graham crackers and pudding for a GF version.
