Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine crushed graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until well coated. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9x13 inch pan.
  2. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually blend in half of the whipped cream and the butterscotch pudding mix.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant butterscotch pudding mix and cold milk until it thickens, about 2 minutes. Pour it over the cream cheese layer.
  4. Spread the remaining whipped cream evenly over the pudding layer using a spatula.
  5. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
  6. Garnish with optional chocolate shavings before serving.

Notes

Make sure the cream cheese is softened for easy blending. Store covered in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
