Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 2 cups butterscotch pudding mix (instant)
- 3 cups cold milk
- 8 whole graham crackers
- Whipped cream (for topping)
- Chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pudding: In a medium bowl, whisk together the butterscotch pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes or until it thickens to a smooth consistency. Set aside.
- Create the Base Layer: In a baking dish or pie pan, sprinkle half of the graham cracker crumbs evenly across the bottom, creating a crunchy base for your dessert.
- Layer with Pudding: Pour half of the prepared butterscotch pudding over the graham cracker crumbs, spreading it out gently to cover the base.
- Add Another Layer of Crackers: Arrange the whole graham crackers on top of the pudding layer in a single layer.
- Repeat the Layers: Pour the remaining butterscotch pudding over the graham crackers, smoothing it out. Then, sprinkle the rest of the graham cracker crumbs on top.
- Chill: Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Serve with Style: Top with fluffy whipped cream and chocolate shavings if desired.
Notes
For a fun twist, try using vanilla or chocolate pudding instead of butterscotch. This dessert pairs beautifully with coffee or milk.
