PISTACHIO BREAD

Simple, easy and quick are three words I'd use to describe this Pistachio Bread with almond icing. It all starts with a cake mix, a pudding mix and a little love and soon you'll be biting into a little slice of heaven.

CHRISTMAS PISTACHIO BREAD



Christmas Pistachio Bread image

Once I tried this super easy bread to make, I was hooked. Of course, I had to try other flavors and come up with other names (yes, go ahead and groan)...Like this became Grinch Bread, and I also chose Reindeer Poop Bread, and Dirty Snow Bread. Yes, I have a warped sense of humor! But it is so fun to alter recipes and titles, I...

3.4 oz pistachio instant pudding
4 eggs, beaten
1/2 c oil
1/4 c water
8 oz sour cream (1 cup)
1/4 c sugar (i omit, it is sweet enough without it)
1 tsp cinnamon (i omit, it is sweet enough without it)

Steps:

  • 1. Combine ingredients, mix well. Pour into two greased 9x5 loaf pans. Bake at 350 degrees 40 min. Toothpick test.
  • 2. Note: it took 60 min for toothpick to come out clean. I also tried it with other pudding flavors...and named it other things with the other puddings. Butterscotch (not a favorite) became Reindeer Poop Bread Coconut Cream (which is fantastic, and a definite favorite) became Dirty Snow Bread and this Pistachio Bread became Grinch Bread!

"A co-worker shared the recipe for these colorful loaves with me," writes Rose Harman of Hays, Kansas. "The red maraschino cherries and green pistachio pudding mix echo the colors of Christmas, so slices make a pretty addition to holiday trays.
