Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Small Mixing Bowl
- Electric Mixer
- Rubber Spatula
- Refrigerator
Ingredients
- 1 prepared graham cracker pie crust
- 1 package instant pistachio pudding mix (3.4-ounce)
- 1 cup cold milk
- 3 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar also known as confectioners' sugar
- 8 ounces whipped topping like Cool Whip, thawed
- Chopped pistachios Optional, for garnish
- Maraschino cherries Optional, for garnish
- Extra whipped cream Optional, for garnish
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant pistachio pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes until the mixture begins to thicken slightly.
- In a separate, smaller bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the softened cream cheese, softened butter, and powdered sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy, resembling thick frosting.
- Now, combine these two delicious mixtures! Add the cream cheese blend to the pudding mixture and beat with the electric mixer on medium-high speed until everything is well combined and perfectly smooth.
- Next, grab a rubber spatula and gently fold in the thawed whipped topping. Mix carefully until the pie filling is a uniform, lovely pale green color with no white streaks remaining, ensuring it stays light and airy.
- Pour this creamy, delightful filling into your prepared graham cracker pie crust. Spread it out evenly with your spatula.
- Place the pie in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours to allow it to set up beautifully. For the best results and a firmer slice, letting it chill even longer (up to 4 hours or overnight) is a great idea!
- Before serving, if you wish, add some optional garnishes! You can pipe a swirl of whipped cream around the edges, sprinkle with chopped pistachios for a bit of crunch, or add a maraschino cherry on top for a pop of color. Slice and enjoy your super simple, refreshing pie!
