Hey dessert lovers! 💛 If you’ve never had Butterscotch Lush before, you’re in for a TREAT! It’s got layers of buttery crust, creamy butterscotch pudding, and fluffy whipped topping
This dessert is so good, you’ll be licking your plate clean. Let’s get into it!
Ingredients:
For the Crust:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional but SO good)
For the Cream Cheese Layer:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
For the Butterscotch Layer:
- 2 boxes (3.4 oz each) instant butterscotch pudding mix
- 3 cups cold milk
For the Topping:
- 2 cups whipped topping (for that fluffy goodness)
- Extra pecans or butterscotch chips for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Make the Crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix together the flour, melted butter, and chopped pecans until combined. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Bake for 15 minutes, then let it cool completely. This is your crunchy base layer!
Cream Cheese Layer: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth. Fold in the whipped topping. Spread this creamy mixture over the cooled crust. Try not to eat it all with a spoon! 😋
Butterscotch Layer: In another bowl, whisk together the butterscotch pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes until it thickens. Spread the pudding evenly over the cream cheese layer. It’s looking delicious already!
Top It Off: Gently spread the remaining whipped topping over the pudding layer. Make it all smooth and pretty! Sprinkle with extra pecans or butterscotch chips if you’re feeling fancy.
Chill & Serve: Pop the dessert in the fridge for at least 2 hours (overnight is even better) to set. When you’re ready to serve, slice it up and watch everyone go crazy for this butterscotch bliss! 🍮💃
