Method
 

Making Butterscotch Lush
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Combine crushed graham crackers and melted butter in a mixing bowl. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9x13 inch pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. Allow to cool.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and mix. Fold in half of the whipped cream. Spread over cooled crust.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together butterscotch pudding mix and 2 cups of milk. Whisk until thickened (3-5 minutes). Pour over cream cheese layer.
  4. Spread remaining whipped cream over the butterscotch layer. Use a spatula to smooth or create peaks.
  5. Sprinkle chocolate shavings over the whipped cream. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2-4 hours to set.
