Filling
- 1 (3.4 oz) Instant Butterscotch Pudding Mix
- 2 cups cold milk (preferably full-fat)
- 8 oz Cool Whip, thawed
- ½ cup chopped butterscotch chips (optional)
Crust
- 1 pre-made or store-bought graham cracker crust (9-inch)
- Prepare the Butterscotch Pudding: Whisk the instant butterscotch pudding mix with cold milk until it thickens, about 2 minutes. This will form a rich, creamy base for the pie.
- Fold in the Cool Whip: Gently fold the thawed Cool Whip into the pudding mixture until fully combined, creating a light and fluffy filling.
- Assemble in the Graham Cracker Crust: Pour the butterscotch mixture into the graham cracker crust, spreading evenly to form a smooth layer.
- Chill the Pie: Refrigerate the pie for at least 2-3 hours, or until firm and sliceable, allowing flavors to meld.
- Optional Toppings: Before serving, sprinkle chopped butterscotch chips or crushed nuts on top to enhance flavor and presentation.
Notes
- Choose full-fat milk for a richer pudding texture.
- Fold the Cool Whip gently into the pudding to maintain fluffiness.
- Use chilled milk and Cool Whip to ensure proper setting.
- Lightly toast the graham cracker crust before filling for extra flavor.
- Let the pie chill long enough for the best texture and flavor development.
