Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Chopped pistachios
• 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 16 oz Whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip), thawed
• 2 3.4 oz packets Instant pistachio pudding mix
• 3 cups Cold milk
• 0.5 cup Additional chopped pistachios (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and softened butter until crumbly. Stir in 1 cup of chopped pistachios.

Step 3

Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to form the crust.

Step 4

Bake the crust for 18-20 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Fold in half of the whipped topping (8 oz) with the cream cheese mixture. Spread this evenly over the cooled crust.

Step 7

In another bowl, mix the instant pistachio pudding mix with the cold milk. Whisk for 2-3 minutes until thickened.

Step 8

Gently spread the pistachio pudding over the cream cheese layer.

Step 9

Top the pudding layer with the remaining whipped topping, spreading it evenly across the surface.

Step 10

Sprinkle the top with the additional chopped pistachios for garnish.

Step 11

Refrigerate the dessert for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the layers to set.

Step 12

Slice into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy this creamy, nutty treat!
