Description
No-bake layered treat featuring vibrant pistachios and creamy fillings, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons sugar (optional)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 cups whipped cream or whipped topping
- 1 teaspoon pure pistachio extract
- 3.4 oz instant pistachio pudding mix
- 2 cups milk
- ¼ cup additional chopped pistachios for garnish
Instructions
- Mix the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter and sugar. Press this mixture into the bottom of your prepared dish to form the crust.
- Beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Gently fold in the whipped topping and pistachio extract. Spread this mixture evenly over the crust.
- Whisk together the instant pistachio pudding mix and milk until smooth. Let it thicken, then pour it on top of the cream cheese layer.

Notes
Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth consistency. Use a sharp knife for clean slices.
