Ingredients

Scale

Pudding Base

  • 1 box pistachio pudding mix (instant)
  • 2 cups cold whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: sweetener (sugar or preferred sweetener) to taste

Toppings and Mix-ins

  • 1 cup whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh unsalted pistachios
  • Optional garnish: extra chopped pistachios or drizzle of honey

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pistachio Pudding: Whisk the pistachio pudding mix together with cold whole milk and vanilla extract until the mixture thickens, about 2 minutes, ensuring a smooth and creamy base.
  2. Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold the whipped topping into the pudding mixture to lighten the texture, creating a fluffy yet rich dessert.
  3. Add Chopped Pistachios: Stir in the chopped pistachios to incorporate a crunchy texture and deepen the nutty pistachio flavor throughout.
  4. Chill Before Serving: Transfer the mixture to serving bowls or a large dish, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set properly.
  5. Garnish and Enjoy: Just before serving, sprinkle extra chopped pistachios or drizzle honey on top for added flavor and an attractive presentation.

Notes

  • Use whole milk for a creamier and richer texture instead of skim or low-fat milk.
  • Refrigerate the pudding thoroughly for the best consistency and to ensure it sets fully.
  • Use fresh, unsalted pistachios to maintain a pure nutty flavor without added saltiness.
  • Fold whipped topping gently to keep the dessert airy and fluffy without deflating it.
  • Taste the pudding mixture before chilling and add sweetener if needed, as different pudding mixes vary in sweetness.
