Ingredients

• 1-1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/3 cup butter, melted
• 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
• 3/4 cup cold 2% milk
• 1 package (3.4 ounces) instant butterscotch pudding mix
• 3 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 eggs, lightly beaten
• Whipped cream and crushed butterscotch candies, optional

Directions

1. Place a greased 9-in. springform pan on a double thickness of heavy-duty foil (about 18 in. square). Securely wrap foil around pan. In a small bowl, combine cracker crumbs and sugar; stir in butter. Press onto the bottom of prepared pan. Place pan on a baking sheet. Bake at 325° for 10 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.

2. In a small bowl, whisk the milks and pudding mix for 2 minutes. Let stand for 2 minutes or until soft-set.

3. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Beat in pudding and vanilla. Add eggs; beat on low speed just until combined. Pour over crust. Place springform pan in a large baking pan; add 1 in. of hot water to larger pan.

4. Bake at 325° for 65-75 minutes or until center is almost set and top appears dull. Remove springform pan from water bath. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes.

5. Carefully run a knife around edge of pan to loosen; cool 1 hour longer. Refrigerate overnight. Garnish with whipped cream and butterscotch candies if desired. Yield: 12 servings.
