The fantastic flavor from this pie comes from butterscotch pudding and canned pumpkin, which work surprisingly well together. Kids will go wild over the cream cheese layer!

<p>@Arlenetim26.....yes. The pumpkin acts as the added liquid and thins it out. I make one very similar every year. Great taste and very easy to make. People will think you spent hours :)</p>

I have a question about this recipe - 1 cup of milk and 2 pkgs of pudding - is that really correct? Can someone help - I'd like tomake it for Thanksgiving but that did not seem right to me???
