Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Chopped pistachios
• 8 ounces Cream cheese
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 12 ounces Whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
• 2 packages Instant pistachio pudding mix
• 3 cups Milk
• 0.25 cup Additional chopped pistachios (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and butter. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to mix until the mixture is crumbly.

Step 3

Stir in the chopped pistachios, then press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking pan to form the crust.

Step 4

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove and let it cool completely.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Fold in 1 cup of the whipped topping, then spread this mixture evenly over the cooled crust.

Step 7

In another bowl, whisk the instant pistachio pudding mix and milk together until thickened (this may take about 2-3 minutes).

Step 8

Spread the prepared pudding over the cream cheese layer.

Step 9

Spread the remaining whipped topping evenly over the pudding layer.

Step 10

If desired, sprinkle additional chopped pistachios on top for garnish.

Step 11

Refrigerate the torte for at least 2 hours to fully set before slicing and serving.
