Pistachio Pudding Dessert

Print Recipe

A nostalgic, no-bake layered treat featuring a crunchy graham cracker and pistachio crust, creamy cream cheese layer, silky pistachio pudding, and fluffy whipped topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups Graham Cracker Crumbs
  • 1/2 cup Shelled Pistachios
  • 10 tablespoons Salted Butter, melted
  • 8 ounces Cream Cheese, room temperature
  • 8 ounces Whipped Topping, thawed
  • 1/2 cup White Granulated Sugar
  • 2 boxes Jello Pistachio Pudding Mix (3.4 oz each)
  • 2 1/2 cups Whole Milk
  • 8 ounces Whipped Topping, thawed
  • 1/4 cup Shelled Pistachios, roughly chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust. In a food processor, blend the graham cracker crumbs and shelled pistachios until finely ground. Add the melted butter and pulse until the mixture resembles clumpy sand. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch dish and freeze for 20 minutes.
  2. Make the cream cheese layer. In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, whipped topping, and sugar. Beat until smooth and creamy. Spread evenly over the chilled crust and refrigerate.
  3. Prepare the pistachio pudding. Whisk together pudding mix and milk until thickened, about 2 minutes. Pour over the cream cheese layer, smoothing the top.
  4. Top with whipped topping. Spread the remaining whipped topping evenly to cover the pudding layer.
  5. Cover dessert with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours.
  6. Garnish and serve. Before serving, sprinkle chopped pistachios on top, cut into squares, and serve chilled.

Notes

Use room temperature cream cheese for a lump-free layer. Chill long enough so the pudding does not run when cut.
