Ingredients
Scale
Graham Cracker Crust:
- 1 pre-made graham cracker crust (9-inch)
Pistachio Cream Filling:
- 1 (3.4-ounce) box instant pistachio pudding mix
- 1 1/2 cups cold whole milk
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup chopped pistachios (plus extra for garnish)
- Whipped cream for topping (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, prepare the Pistachio Cream Filling: Whisk together the pistachio pudding mix, cold milk, and almond extract until smooth and thickened, about 2 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, make the whipped cream: Beat the heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
- Combine the two mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the pudding mixture until fully combined and fluffy. Stir in the chopped pistachios.
- Fill the crust: Spoon the filling into the graham cracker crust and smooth the top.
- Chill: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
- Serve: Before serving, top with additional whipped cream and a sprinkle of chopped pistachios if desired.
Notes
- You can substitute whipped topping for the homemade whipped cream to save time.
- For a stronger pistachio flavor, add a drop of pistachio extract.
