Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar for crust
  • 1/2 cup butter melted
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 8 oz container whipped topping, divided
  • 1 3.9 oz package instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 1 3.9 oz package instant butterscotch pudding mix
  • 3 cups cold milk
  • Optional: Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for garnish

Method
 

  1. Thoroughly blend graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter in a medium bowl until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  2. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch pan, creating an even layer. Place in refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Fold in 1 cup of the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
  5. Gently spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled graham cracker crust.
  6. In another bowl, whisk together the chocolate pudding mix and 1 1/2 cups cold milk for 2 minutes until thickened.
  7. Pour the chocolate pudding over the cream cheese layer and spread evenly.
  8. In a clean bowl, whisk together the butterscotch pudding mix with the remaining 1 1/2 cups cold milk for 2 minutes until thickened.
  9. Spread the butterscotch pudding as the next layer on top of the chocolate pudding.
  10. Spread the remaining whipped topping over the butterscotch layer.
  11. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the dessert to set properly.
  12. If desired, garnish with chocolate shavings or a light dusting of cocoa powder before serving.
