Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.4 oz butterscotch pudding mix (instant)
- 2 cups cold whole milk
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup crushed graham crackers
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.5 cup toffee bits
- 0.25 cup butterscotch sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- optional garnish: whipped cream or extra toffee bits
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the butterscotch pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes until the pudding thickens. Cover and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
While the pudding sets, prepare the whipped cream. Using a hand or stand mixer, whip the heavy cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers with melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles damp sand. Set aside.
Once the pudding is set, fold half of the whipped cream into the pudding to create a light, airy texture. Reserve the remaining whipped cream for layering and topping.
To assemble, start by layering about 2 tablespoons of the graham cracker mixture at the bottom of serving glasses or dessert dishes.
Add a layer of the butterscotch pudding mixture, followed by a dollop of whipped cream. Sprinkle with a few toffee bits.
Repeat the layers until the glasses are filled, finishing with a final topping of whipped cream and a drizzle of butterscotch sauce.
For garnish, sprinkle additional toffee bits or add a decorative swirl of whipped cream on top.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving. Enjoy your decadent Butterscotch Dream!
