Description

Indulge in the creamy, nutty bliss of this No Bake Pistachio Cream Pie—a dessert that’s as easy to make as it is to enjoy. With a buttery graham cracker crust, a silky pistachio filling, and a whipped cream topping, this pie delivers cool, refreshing flavor with zero oven time required. It’s perfect for family gatherings, dinner parties, or any moment that calls for a little sweetness.


Ingredients

2 cups crushed graham crackers

½ cup melted butter

¼ cup granulated sugar

1 (3.4 oz) package instant pistachio pudding mix

1½ cups cold milk

1½ cups whipped cream (homemade or store-bought)

Additional whipped cream, for topping

Chopped pistachios, for garnish


Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.

  2. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Set aside.

  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant pistachio pudding mix and cold milk until smooth. Let sit for 5 minutes to thicken.

  4. Gently fold in the whipped cream until the filling is light and fluffy.

  5. Pour the pistachio cream filling into the prepared crust and smooth the top with a spatula.

  6. Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.

  7. Top with additional whipped cream and chopped pistachios before serving.

  8. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use crushed Oreos instead of graham crackers for a chocolate crust.
  • Add finely chopped pistachios into the crust for extra crunch.
  • Layer sweetened cream cheese under the filling for a cheesecake-style twist.
  • Add lemon zest to the pudding mix for brightness.
  • Sprinkle toasted coconut over the topping for a tropical flavor.
  • Make in mini tart pans or jars for individual servings.
  • Use plant-based milk, vegan whipped topping, and vegan butter for a dairy-free version.
  • Choose sugar-free pudding and a sugar substitute for a lower-sugar pie.
  • Stir extra pistachios into the filling for more texture.
  • Add a splash of amaretto or pistachio liqueur for an adult version.
