Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup crushed Butterfinger candy bars
- 1 cup fat-free whipped topping
- 1 package sugar-free instant vanilla pudding mix
- 2 cups skim milk
- 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar-free instant vanilla pudding mix with the skim milk. Whisk thoroughly for 2 minutes until the mixture begins to thicken and becomes smooth.
- Gently fold the fat-free whipped topping into the pudding mixture, ensuring it is evenly incorporated and creates a light, creamy texture.
- Prepare the Butterfinger candy bars by placing them in a sealed plastic bag and crushing them into fine crumbs using a rolling pin or the bottom of a heavy skillet.
- Crush the graham crackers separately in another bag, creating a fine crumb mixture to be used for layering.
- In individual serving dishes or a large rectangular dish, begin layering the dessert by first sprinkling a thin layer of graham cracker crumbs at the bottom.
- Pour the pudding and whipped topping mixture over the graham cracker base, spreading it evenly.
- Sprinkle the crushed Butterfinger candy bar crumbs generously over the pudding layer.
- Refrigerate the dessert for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set properly.
- Before serving, optionally garnish with additional Butterfinger crumbs or a small dollop of whipped topping.
Tips
- Crushing Technique: For the most even crumbs, use a rolling pin and apply gentle, consistent pressure when crushing Butterfinger bars and graham crackers.
- Chill Factor: Let the dessert refrigerate for at least 1 hour, but if you can wait 2-3 hours, the flavors will meld even more beautifully.
- Portion Control: Use clear individual serving glasses to help with portion sizes and create an Instagram-worthy presentation.
- Make Ahead: This dessert can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance, making it perfect for meal prep or entertaining.
- Texture Tip: Whisk the pudding mix thoroughly to ensure a smooth, lump-free base for your dessert.
- Variation: For extra crunch, consider keeping some slightly larger Butterfinger crumbs for topping.
- Storage: Keep refrigerated and consume within 2-3 days for the best taste and texture.
