BUTTERSCOTCH LUSH
My best friend had been telling me about a chocolate lush her family would make at family gatherings for a few months.
The other night we were together, and rummaging through my pantry looking for a fun recipe to make.
found a couple of packages of butterscotch pudding. They were calling my name.
Butterscotch pudding is my favorite pudding flavor. It’s so rich and creamy.
This amazing layered dessert was everything I was hoping it would be, and more.
I had tasted each layer, licking the bowl, while making it, and they each were divine. I knew the recipe was going to be magical.
The layers are such a perfect combination, that this Butterscotch Lush is to die for.
Creamy layers, sweet layers, and then a magical graham cracker crush that ties it all together. Heavenly.
You can slice it into 9 big squares, and you’ll be happy you did, or cut them a bit smaller if you have a big group to share with.
The toppings really makes it such a pretty dessert, that it will be the first one devoured from the dessert table.
