Butterscotch Pudding Layered Dessert

Enjoy multiple layers of pure goodness in this butterscotch pudding layered dessert. It’s sweet, creamy, and always a crowd favorite.

This dessert is on regular repeat in my household. It’s delicious any time of year and it never goes to waste.

Butterscotch is one of my favorite flavors and I feel like it not used very much, which is unfortunate. I love that it is not too sweet and has a hint of salty to it. That is what makes this dessert so good. The buttery and nutty crust compliments the butterscotch pudding so well. It is such a well round dessert with its many textures and sweet and salty combinations.

It is inexpensive and so easy to make which makes it perfect for potlucks, as a birthday cake, for family night, or any occasion.
