Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 2 cups Graham Cracker Crumbs Opt for store-bought or homemade.
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter Melted butter or margarine can be used.
For the Creamy Filling
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese Softened for easy blending.
  • 1 pkg Butterscotch Pudding Mix Use instant pudding for best results.
  • 2 cups Milk Use slightly less for a thicker pudding.
  • 8 oz Cool Whip or Whipped Heavy Cream Homemade whipped cream elevates freshness.
For the Topping
  • 1/2 cup Chocolate Shavings Optional but enhances appeal.

Equipment

  • 9x13 inch pan
  • Mixing bowl
  • electric mixer
  • Spatula

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs with melted unsalted butter until evenly coated. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13 inch pan, creating an even layer.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until creamy and smooth, about 2 minutes. Gradually fold in the Cool Whip until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the butterscotch pudding mix with 2 cups of milk. Beat for about 2 minutes until the mixture begins to thicken and let it stand for 5 minutes.
  4. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the graham cracker crust. Pour the prepared butterscotch pudding over the cream cheese layer and smooth it out.
  5. Add a generous layer of Cool Whip on top of the butterscotch pudding and sprinkle chocolate shavings across the whipped cream.
  6. Refrigerate the assembled Butterscotch Lush for at least 2 hours or until the layers are well-set. Cut into squares and serve chilled.
