However, this version of the pie includes butterscotch pudding and cream cheese for added richness and flavor. It is a popular dessert at potlucks, parties, and family gatherings due to its delicious taste and ease of preparation. The name 'mud pie' comes from the similarity of the pie's appearance to mud.
