I love this four layer pistachio pudding dessert because it uses pistachio flavored pudding mix. Pistachios, along with macadamia nuts are my favorites. To make this dish even better, I used fresh pistachio nuts in addition to the pudding.
This recipe is easy to make but has several steps of cooling, setting and chilling of the ingredients. The bottom layer, or crust, consists of a mixture of finely chopped pistachios, butter, flour and sugar. After the crust is baked until brown and set, a second layer of cream cheese, icing sugar and cool whip is spread over. It is then covered with the third layer consisting of a mixture of the pistachio pudding and cold milk to create the green colored layer. It was finished off with a layer of cool whip at the top and a sprinkle of chopped pistachio nuts.
This pistachio pudding dessert was a perfect dessert to end a meal. It was decadent, just enough to satisfy one’s sweet tooth.
