Refrigerator Pistachio Dessert image

My whole family LOVES this dessert. My husband loves it so much he sweet talks me into making it when they have potlucks at work. One of his co-workers kick-named it "Green puddin'" I usually make this for Easter. The cream cheese layer is what makes it scrumptious! I orginally found this recipe in an old Pillsbury baking cook...

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/4 c flour
1/2 c butter, softened
1/2 c finely chopped pistachios
FILLING
8 oz cream cheese
1 c powdered sugar
8 oz cool whip
2 (3.75oz) pkg instant pistachio pudding mix
3 c milk
1/2 - 1 c chopped pistachios

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 350. Grease a 13x9" pan. In a small bowl, combine flour & butter at low speed until crumbly. Stir in 1/2 cup pistachios. Press in bottom of greased pan. Bake at 350 for 18 to 20 minutes, or until light golden brown. Cool crust completely. (I usually end up putting this in the freezer after it has cooled a bit to speed the process as it can take quite a while.)
  • 2. In a small bowl, combine cream cheese & powdered sugar until smooth & creamy. Fold in 1/2 of the cool whip. Spread mixture over the cooled crust.
  • 3. In a large bowl, beat pudding mix & milk at medium speed until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in 1/2 to 1 cup pistachios. Pour mixture carefully over cream cheese layer. Spread with remaining cool whip. Refrigerate several hours or overnight.
