Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 package butterscotch pudding mix (instant, 3.4 oz)
  • 2 cups cold milk (preferably full-fat)
  • 1 tub Cool Whip (8 oz, thawed)
  • 1 pre-made pie crust (9-inch)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Toppings

  • Chocolate drizzle (melted chocolate)
  • Chopped pecans or walnuts
  • Extra Cool Whip for layering
  • Salted caramel sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pudding mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the butterscotch pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes, until thickened and smooth, forming the creamy butterscotch base.
  2. Fold in Cool Whip: Gently fold the thawed Cool Whip into the pudding mixture using a spatula, careful not to deflate the whipped topping, to maintain an airy, fluffy texture.
  3. Pour into crust: Pour the combined pudding and Cool Whip mixture into the pre-made pie crust, smoothing the top evenly with a spatula.
  4. Chill until set: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to fully set and for the flavors to meld.
  5. Optional toppings: Before serving, add optional toppings such as chopped nuts, chocolate drizzle, salted caramel sauce, or extra Cool Whip to enhance flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • Use full-fat milk to help the pudding set firmer and add richness.
  • Chill the pie crust before filling to prevent sogginess.
  • Allow ample chilling time for the best texture—don’t rush it.
  • Fold Cool Whip gently to keep the mixture light and fluffy.
  • Add garnishes just before serving to keep them fresh and visually appealing.
