Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- 5 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 tablespoons sugar, optional
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup Cool Whip
- ½ teaspoon butter flavoring
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons butterscotch syrup
- 1 small box instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 ½ cups cold milk
- 1 tablespoon butterscotch syrup
- ½ teaspoon butter flavoring
- 1 cup Cool Whip
- Cool Whip, enough to cover the top
- Butterscotch syrup, for swirling
Instructions
- Make the Crust: Combine the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter and sugar, if using. Press firmly into the bottom of an 8×8-inch baking dish to form an even crust. Place in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the next layers.
- Make the Cheesecake Layer: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar, butter flavoring, vanilla extract, and butterscotch syrup. Fold in the Cool Whip. Spread the mixture evenly over the chilled crust.
- Make the Pudding Layer: In a clean bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk until it starts to thicken. Add the butter flavoring and butterscotch syrup, then gently fold in the Cool Whip. Spread the pudding mixture over the cheesecake layer.
- Add the Topping: Spread a final layer of Cool Whip over the top. Drizzle with butterscotch syrup and use a spoon or knife to swirl it into the topping.
- Chill: Refrigerate the dessert for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until completely set.
