Ingredients
Cooking spray
- 1 package 11 ounces of butterscotch chips
- 1/2 cup of butter
- 2 cups of graham cracker crumbs
- 1 package 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 can 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk (like Eagle Brand®)
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- In a saucepan over low heat, combine the butterscotch chips and butter, stirring frequently until fully melted, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the graham cracker crumbs until evenly combined. Set aside 2/3 cup of this mixture for topping, and press the remaining mixture firmly into the prepared baking dish to form the crust.
- Using an electric mixer, beat the softened cream cheese in a bowl until smooth and fluffy. Add the sweetened condensed milk, egg, and vanilla extract, mixing until well blended. Pour the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crust, then sprinkle the reserved graham cracker-butterscotch mixture on top.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
