Ingredients

Scale

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)

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Fold in the Cool Whip: Gently fold the thawed Cool Whip into the pudding mixture until fully combined, creating a light and fluffy filling.
  3. Assemble in the Graham Cracker Crust: Pour the butterscotch mixture into the graham cracker crust, spreading evenly to form a smooth layer.
  4. Chill the Pie: Refrigerate the pie for at least 2-3 hours, or until firm and sliceable, allowing flavors to meld.
  5. 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.
