Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 pre-made graham cracker crust (9-inch)

Filling

  • 1 package (3.4 oz) instant pistachio pudding mix
  • 1 cup cold milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
  • 1 1/2 cups whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
  • 1/4 cup chopped pistachios
  • Green food coloring (optional, for brighter color)

Garnish

  • Additional whipped topping
  • Chopped pistachios

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pudding mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the instant pistachio pudding mix, cold milk, and almond extract (if using) for about 2 minutes until the mixture thickens.
  2. Fold in whipped topping and color: Gently fold in the whipped topping and add a few drops of green food coloring if a more vibrant color is desired, ensuring the mixture is uniform.
  3. Add chopped pistachios: Stir in the chopped pistachios carefully to maintain some texture within the creamy filling.
  4. Fill the crust: Spoon the prepared pistachio cream filling into the pre-made graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula for an even surface.
  5. Chill the pie: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or until it is set and firm enough to slice cleanly.
  6. Garnish and serve: Before serving, top the pie with additional whipped topping and sprinkle with more chopped pistachios for a decorative and flavorful finish.

Notes

  • You can make your own graham cracker crust for a homemade touch.
  • This pie can be made a day ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator for convenience.
