Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350ðF (175ðC) if baking the crust, or skip to pressing for a no-bake version.

In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and softened butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
-
Press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan or springform pan.
-
Chill the crust in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes while preparing the filling.
-
In a large bowl, beat together 8 oz softened cream cheese, 3/4 cup sugar, and half of the whipped topping (Cool Whip) until smooth and creamy.
-
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled crust.
-
In a separate large bowl, whisk together one small package of instant chocolate pudding, one small package of instant butterscotch pudding, and 3 cups of milk.
-
Whisk the pudding mixture vigorously for 2-3 minutes until thickened.
-
Gently fold the remaining half of the whipped topping into the pudding mixture to lighten the texture.
-
Spoon the pudding mixture over the cream cheese layer, spreading it evenly to the edges.
-
Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours, or until the filling is completely set, before serving.
