Ingredients

• 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 3.4 oz packages instant pistachio pudding mix
• 3 cups cold milk
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 12 oz whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip), thawed
• 3 drops green food coloring (optional)
• 0.25 cup crushed pistachios or green sprinkles (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.

Step 2

Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust. Chill in the fridge for at least 10 minutes while preparing the filling.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant pistachio pudding mix and cold milk until thickened, about 2 minutes. Set aside.

Step 4

In a separate mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Fold half of the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.

Step 6

Gently fold the cream cheese mixture into the prepared pistachio pudding, mixing until fully combined. Add green food coloring if desired for a more vibrant color.

Step 7

Pour the filling evenly over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Spread the remaining half of the whipped topping over the pie as the final layer.

Step 9

Garnish with crushed pistachios or green sprinkles for a festive touch.

Step 10

Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or until set. Slice and serve chilled.
