A cool, creamy no-bake treat with a nutty graham crust and silky cream cheese layer topped with pistachio pudding.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups Graham Cracker Crumbs
  • 1/2 cup Shelled Pistachios
  • 10 tablespoons Salted Butter, melted
  • 8 ounces Cream Cheese, room temperature

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a food processor, blend the graham cracker crumbs and shelled pistachios until finely ground. Add the melted butter and pulse until clumpy.
  2. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9×13 inch dish. Freeze the crust for 20 minutes.
  3. Make the cream cheese layer: In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, thawed whipped topping, and sugar until smooth.
  4. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the chilled crust. Refrigerate.
  5. Prepare the pudding: Whisk together the pistachio pudding mix and whole milk until thickened.
  6. Spread the pudding over the cream cheese layer.
  7. Top with whipped topping: Spread remaining whipped topping over the pudding layer.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours. Garnish with chopped pistachios before serving.
  9. Cut into squares and serve chilled.

Notes

Soften the cream cheese to avoid lumps. Use a hot knife for clean slices.
