Ingredients
1 prepared graham cracker crust (9-inch)
1 (3.4-oz) package pistachio instant pudding mix
1 cup cold whole milk
3 oz cream cheese – softened to room temperature
1/4 cup salted butter – softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
8-oz whipped topping (like Cool Whip) – thawed
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pistachio pudding mix and cold milk. Mix at low speed for 2 minutes until the mixture begins to thicken.
In a separate small mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar until the consistency resembles a thick, smooth frosting.
Add the cream cheese mixture to the pudding mixture. Beat on medium-high speed until the two are completely incorporated and smooth.
Using a spatula, gently fold in the whipped topping (or mix on the lowest speed) until the filling is a uniform pale green with no white streaks.
Pour the pistachio filling into the prepared graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with your spatula.
Place the pie in the refrigerator and allow it to chill for at least 2 hours to set.
Optional: Garnish with extra whipped cream and chopped pistachios before slicing.
Notes
• The filling is designed to be very creamy and soft. It sets in the fridge but remains light rather than firm.
• You can substitute a chocolate Oreo crust for a “pistachio mud pie” flavor profile.
• Ensure the cream cheese and butter are truly room temperature to avoid lumps in your filling.
• For a chunkier texture, fold in 1/2 cup of chopped roasted pistachios.
