Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 package (3.4 ounces) instant butterscotch pudding mix
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup whipped topping
Crust:
- 1 9-inch graham cracker crust
Garnish:
- 1/4 cup butterscotch chips
Instructions
- Whisk butterscotch pudding mix and milk in a spacious mixing bowl until the mixture transforms into a silky, uniform consistency.
- Gently incorporate whipped topping, folding carefully to maintain the airy texture and prevent deflating the mixture.
- Transfer the creamy blend into the prepared graham cracker crust, using a spatula to create an even, smooth surface.
- Generously scatter butterscotch chips across the pie’s top, creating a delightful crunchy garnish.
- Chill the pie in the refrigerator for a minimum of 2 hours, allowing the filling to set and flavors to meld together completely.
- Remove from refrigerator, slice, and serve cold for a refreshing dessert experience.
Notes
- Swap out graham cracker crust for gluten-free alternatives like almond meal or crushed gluten-free cookies to accommodate dietary restrictions.
- Enhance the butterscotch flavor by toasting the butterscotch chips briefly in a dry skillet before sprinkling them on top, which intensifies their caramel-like notes.
- For a lighter version, use low-fat milk and sugar-free pudding mix, reducing the overall calorie content without compromising taste.
- Create texture variation by folding in chopped pecans or drizzling melted dark chocolate over the top for a gourmet twist.
