Butterscotch Heaven Pie

Ingredients:

For the Crust:

• 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For the Butterscotch Filling:

• 1 (3.4 oz) box instant butterscotch pudding mix
• 1½ cups whole milk
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 4 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Crust:
   Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish. Bake for 8–10 minutes, then cool completely.
2. Make the Filling:
   In a large bowl, whisk together the butterscotch pudding mix, whole milk, heavy cream, and brown sugar until thickened. Add the softened cream cheese and vanilla extract, then beat with a mixer until smooth and creamy.
3. Assemble the Pie:
   Spoon the filling into the cooled crust and smooth the top.
4. Chill:
   Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
5. Serve:
   Slice and serve chilled. Optional: top with whipped cream or butterscotch chips.

Tips:

• Use a food processor for extra-fine crumbs in the crust.
• Substitute Biscoff cookies for a deeper caramel flavor.
• For a firmer filling, reduce milk to 1¼ cups.
