How To Make

Make the Crust. Process the cookies in a food processor until finely ground. Note: If you don’t have a food processor, place them in a large ziptop bag and crush them with something heavy. Then mix together crushed cookies, melted butter, and flour. Press in the bottom of a 9×13-inch pan and bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool.
Make the Cream Cheese Layer. Beat cream cheese and confectioners’ sugar. Then mix in 2 cups of Cool Whip.
Make Butterscotch Pudding Layer. Mix pudding mix with milk and spread on top of cream cheese layer.
Topping– Spread Cool Whip on top. Top with chopped pecans.

Pin It

I’m a huge fan of butterscotch pudding. The butterscotch layer gives this dessert most of its flavor, but it is complemented by the pecan crust and creamy cream cheese layer, plus the light and creamy whipped topping layer.

Sprinkle a few chopped pecans on top and you have the perfect summer dessert for butterscotch lovers.
