Ingredients

Graham Cracker Crust

3 cups graham cracker crumbs
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
10 tablespoons butter melted

Cheesecake Layer

8 ounces cream cheese room temperature
3/4 cup powdered sugar
8 ounces Cool Whip thawed

Butterscotch Pudding Layer

2 boxes (3.4 oz each) instant butterscotch pudding mix
3 cups half and half (whole milk works also)

Whipped Cream Layer & Garnishes

8 ounces Cool Whip thawed
butterscotch morsels, chopped pecans, chopped Heath candy bars, butterscotch sauce drizzle (optional topping ideas)

Instructions

Prep : Get a 9x13 baking pan and set it aside.
Crust : Combine the graham cracker crumbs, light brown sugar, melted butter into a medium mixing bowl. Press the crumbs firmly into a 9x13 baking pan to form an even crust. Place the dish inside the freezer for 20 minutes while you prepare the rest of the layers.
3 cups graham cracker crumbs, 3 tablespoons light brown sugar, 10 tablespoons butter
Cheesecake Layer : In a mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Stir in the thawed Cool Whip with a wooden mixing spoon or spatula until combined well.
8 ounces cream cheese, 3/4 cup powdered sugar, 8 ounces Cool Whip
Butterscotch Pudding Layer : In a separate mixing bowl, add the instant butterscotch pudding mix and half and half milk. Whisk together for 1-2 minutes or until it starts to thicken. Set the pudding aside and let it rest, so it can thicken even more, for about 3 minutes.
2 boxes (3.4 oz each) instant butterscotch pudding mix, 3 cups half and half
Assemble The Butterscotch Lush : Remove the crust from the freezer.
- Spread the cheesecake layer over the crust, making sure to spread it all the way to the edges of the pan to create a firm layer.
- Spread the butterscotch pudding over the cheesecake layer.
- For the final layer, spread the Cool Whip over top.
8 ounces Cool Whip
Fridge Time : Cover the pan with a lid or plastic wrap, and let it refrigerate for at least 6 hours - or overnight is even better.
Garnish & Serve : Garnish the top of the lush with butterscotch chips and/or chopped Heath candy bars. Slice into squares and serve chilled.
