Butterscotch Bliss Layered Dessert

graham cracker crumbs

Sugar substitute equivalent to 1/2 cup sugar, divided

butter, melted

(8 ounces each) reduced-fat cream cheese

milk,

(1 ounce each) sugar-free instant butterscotch pudding mix

carton (8 ounces) frozen reduced-fat whipped topping, thawed

rum extract

In a small bowl, combine the cracker crumbs, half of the sugar substitute and butter. Press into a 13-in. x 9-in. dish coated with cooking spray.

In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, 1/4 cup milk and remaining sugar substitute until smooth. Spread over crust.

In another bowl, whisk remaining milk with the pudding mix for 2 minutes. Let stand for 2 minutes or until soft-set. Gently spread over cream cheese layer. Combine whipped topping and extract; spread over the top. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.

So creamy and delicious - you'd never know it's lo-fat.

This is delicious as is, though I  use regular sugar and pudding mix. However, as other reviewers said, it's great with other flavors. My favorite is coconut pudding, with a sprinkle of toasted coconut on top.

I have been making this for years.  It's good with chocolate and lemon puddings too. you can use any kind of pudding mix. the best way to press crumbs in the bottom of the dish is to use the bottom of a metal measuring cup. Vanilla is good in the cool whip. I use all regular ingredients

I had the same problem.  Next time I think I'll add a little more milk.

I will make it with Pumpkin Spice Pudding for Thanksgiving!!!

I have made this recipe with pistachio pudding and with chocolate pudding omiiting the rum flavouring in both. Adding a little milk does make the cream chees easier to spread. It is a great recipe for the whole family.

Excellent for people really watching calories

You need to put the pan of crust in the refrigerator to let it set and then the cream cheese mixture will not cause the seperation!  Also, you can beat in  a bit of whipped topping  in the cream cheese mixture (about 1/2 of 8 oz bowl) and it will spread easier too.

I make this quite often. I do use coconut cream pudding to make it though. Also, the lady having trouble with the crust, I bake my crust at 35o for about 7-10 min and cool it well before adding the cream cheese layer. Works out perfectly every time. Also make sure that your cream cheese is at room temp before even starting. You can even 'nuke' it for about 8-10 seconds to make it even more spreadable. Hope this helps

Took this to church dinner today & it was a big hit!

WONDERFUL! I did make three changes. For the crust I used cinnamon grahams and added 1/4 cup coarsely chopped pecans and baked it at 350 degrees for 8 minutes before cooling and then adding the cream cheese layer. I had no trouble spreading the cream cheese. I also omitted the extract from the final topping. It is delicious and also very pretty to serve. I will definitely make it again and again!

This is an awesome dessert. Easy to make & tastes yummy! You can use any flavored pudding ........chocolate is our favorite.

I have made this using a chocolate wafer crust, crushed as you do the graham crackers; and used cheesecake pudding and vanilla flavoring. It has been a real hit with my friends

Even though it's tasty, it has way too muchsaturated fat. The lower calories is only coming from the sugar free ingredients.

I haven't made this recipe, but it is almost exactly like a recipe that I do make--the only difference is that I put 1 package of butterscotch and one package of coconut.  Try it--it is delicious, hence the name, delicious dessert

Tried this for the first time and WOW. Took it to my parents as a dessert for the weekend and we all loved it. My 2 yr old son could not get enough and same with me. Made it just the way the recipe said and great, wouldn't change a thing.

I wouldn't change a thing! I may try with other flavored puddings another time, just for a change, but excellent as it is...

This is terrific and I don't cook at all and this was easy and we now make it with Sugar Free Chocolate pudding ot mix it up.

This is a great dessert.  I will make it againJoyce Olson

I did not follow the recipe to the T.  I didn't make it as low fat.  I was also shocked when I put the rum abstract in the whipped topping that it had an alcohol flavor and found that the rum abstract has 29 percent alcohol.  Threw the whipped topping away and was thankful I had a spare in the freezer.  Regular whipped topping is much better.  Even shared the recipe with our friends I made it for, minus the rum extract.

Since I did not have plain graham cracker crumbs, I used a graham cracker pie crust, cutting all the remaining ingredients in half.  It was a real hit!
