Base Ingredients
- Pistachio pudding mix – 1 package (3.4 oz)
- Milk – 2 cups (cold)
- Sweetened condensed milk – 1/2 cup
- Whipped topping – 1 cup
- Chopped pistachios – 1/2 cup
- Mix the pudding: Combine the pistachio pudding mix with cold milk in a large bowl. Whisk well according to package directions until smooth and thickened.
- Add sweetness and creaminess: Stir in the sweetened condensed milk until fully incorporated to enrich the pudding’s texture and flavor.
- Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold the whipped topping into the pudding mixture, taking care to maintain the airy texture without deflating it.
- Incorporate chopped pistachios: Add chopped pistachios to the mixture, giving a slight crunch and intensifying the nutty taste in every spoonful.
- Chill and serve: Transfer the pudding to a serving dish or individual cups and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld and the pudding to set perfectly.
Notes
- Chill ingredients beforehand: Using cold milk and whipped topping helps the pudding set better and stay creamy.
- Don’t overmix: Fold the whipped topping gently to keep the dessert light and fluffy instead of dense.
- Use fresh pistachios: Freshly chopped nuts have a brighter flavor and crunch compared to pre-packaged ones.
- Customize sweetness: Adjust the amount of sweetened condensed milk based on your personal preference for sweetness.
- Let it rest: Refrigeration time is crucial for flavors to develop fully and to achieve the perfect pudding consistency.
