INGREDIENTS:

For the Crust:

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

2 ½ cups cold milk
8 oz whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed

For Topping:

DIRECTIONS:

Prepare the Crust:

In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar.
Mix until the crumbs are fully coated.
Press the mixture into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form an even crust. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.

Make the Butterscotch Filling:

In a large bowl, whisk together the instant butterscotch pudding mix and cold milk. Beat for about 2 minutes until the pudding thickens.
Gently fold in 8 oz of thawed whipped topping until smooth and creamy.

Assemble the Pie:

Pour the butterscotch filling into the chilled graham cracker crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Spread 1 cup of whipped topping evenly over the pudding layer.

Chill the Pie:

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully set.

Garnish and Serve:

Before serving, sprinkle butterscotch chips on top and drizzle with butterscotch sauce if desired.
Slice and enjoy!
