Everybody’s Dessert

I was introduced to this dessert about a year ago at a gathering at my Aunt’s house. Apparently it has been around forever and for some odd reason I had just never tried it. She had to convince me to take a bite cause it was green and just looked a little weird. Oh my goodness, I can’t even tell you how amazing this is. You would think the pistachio pudding wouldn’t be this good but it makes this dessert just incredible. After making it myself, I realized it’s almost identical to the Chocolate Fantastic recipe my hubby’s Grandma makes so I ended up taking some of the ingredients from that recipe and tweaked this one a little. It’s a perfect dessert to bring to a gathering as it feeds a lot and you don’t need a huge piece to be satisfied. Give it a try today.

Ingredients

  • Crust
  • 1 1/4 cup flour
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup softened butter
  • 1st Layer
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup cool whip
  • 2nd Layer
  • 2 (3.4 oz) packages of instant pistachio pudding
  • 3 cups milk
  • Cool Whip for topping
  • Pecans for topping

Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2

In a large bowl, mix together the flour, chopped pecans and softened butter. I do this by mixing with my hand. Press dough into the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

3

While crust is baking, mix together cream cheese, powdered sugar and cool whip. Put in refrigerator.

4

Remove crust from oven and allow to cool completely.

5

Mix together pistachio pudding and milk. Beat on medium for 2 minutes.

6

After crust has cooled, spread cream cheese mixture over entire crust. Next, spread pudding mixture over the cream cheese layer. Top with cool whip and chopped pecans.

7

Refrigerate any leftovers.

Notes

Would also be good with crushed pistachios on top instead of pecans.
