Instructions
Preparation Steps
In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate, using the bottom of a measuring cup to help flatten it.
In a large bowl, whisk together the two boxes of instant pudding mixes and the cold milk for 2 minutes until the mixture thickens.
Gently fold half of the Cool Whip into the thickened pudding mixture.
Pour this half of the pudding mixture into the prepared crust and spread evenly to cover the bottom.
In a separate small bowl, fold the remaining Cool Whip into the remaining pudding mixture until just combined (do not overmix).
Carefully spread this second pudding layer over the first layer in the crust.
Top the pie with butterscotch sauce and chopped pecans, if desired.
Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, or up to 3 days, before slicing and serving.
Notes
Ensure the milk is very cold for the instant pudding to set correctly. If you prefer a firmer top layer, you can use only half the amount of Cool Whip in the first layer, and fold the rest into the second half of the pudding.
