Make-ahead and freezer notes

Butterscotch lush can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. It is not recommended to freeze butterscotch lush, as the texture may change and become mushy.

How to soften cream cheese

You can soften cream cheese by leaving it at room temperature for 1-2 hours or by microwaving it on a low power setting for a few seconds at a time until it is softened.

Or you can place the cream cheese in a warm bowl of water. Let it sit 10 minutes then check the cream cheese to see the texture. Leave the cream cheese in the foil wrapper, as you do not want water on the cream cheese.

I’m not sure whether it’s the butter or the flour that I’m having trouble with. What am I doing wrong?

If you are having trouble with the texture of the crust, it may be due to using too much or too little butter or not mixing the ingredients thoroughly. If the crust is too crumbly, try adding a little more butter. If it is too wet, add a little more flour.

Can I replace the butterscotch pudding for other lush cake flavors?

Yes, you can replace the butterscotch pudding with other flavors of pudding, such as chocolate, vanilla, or banana.

You can also experiment with different types of crust and toppings to create your own unique version of lush cake.
