# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
In a large mixing bowl, blend cinnamon graham cracker crumbs with granulated sugar and melted butter until evenly moistened. Firmly press mixture onto the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch baking dish or into serving cups to create an even crust layer.
02 -
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until creamy and smooth. Add vanilla extract and continue to blend until fully incorporated.
03 -
In a chilled mixing bowl, whip 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and light.
04 -
In a separate bowl, whisk together butterscotch pudding mix and 2 cups cold whole milk according to package instructions. Allow pudding to thicken for several minutes. Fold in half of the chopped butterscotch chips evenly.
05 -
Spread half of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the prepared crust. Next, layer half of the butterscotch pudding mixture over the cream cheese layer. Repeat with remaining cream cheese mixture and then remaining butterscotch pudding.
06 -
Smooth whipped topping (Cool Whip) over the final pudding layer. Sprinkle remaining chopped butterscotch chips and drizzle caramel sauce uniformly as garnish.
07 -
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours to set. Serve chilled for best texture and flavor.
