This Pistachio Pudding Dessert is a nostalgic, creamy layered treat with a buttery crust, smooth cream cheese layer, and light pistachio pudding, perfect for gatherings or as a make-ahead holiday sweet.

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 1/2 cup shelled pistachios until finely ground. Add the melted salted butter and pulse until the mixture resembles clumpy sand. Press into the bottom of a 9×13 inch dish and freeze for 20 minutes.
  2. Make the cream cheese layer: In a mixing bowl, beat 8 ounces of cream cheese, 8 ounces of whipped topping, and 1/2 cup of white granulated sugar until smooth. Spread evenly over the chilled crust and refrigerate.
  3. Prepare the pistachio pudding: Whisk both boxes of Jello pistachio pudding mix with 2 1/2 cups whole milk until thickened, about 2 minutes. Spread this over the cream cheese layer.
  4. Top with whipped topping: Spread the remaining 8 ounces of whipped topping to cover the pudding layer.
  5. Chill: Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 8 hours to set.
  6. Garnish and serve: Before serving, sprinkle with 1/4 cup roughly chopped pistachios, cut into squares, and serve chilled.

Notes

Press the crust firmly into the pan for better slicing; store tightly covered in the refrigerator.
