Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 18 sheets Graham crackers
- 2 packages (3.4 oz each) Instant pistachio pudding mix
- 3 cups Cold milk
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 container (16 oz) Chocolate frosting
- 2 tablespoons Shelled pistachios (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the instant pistachio pudding mix and cold milk. Whisk until fully blended and the mixture begins to thicken. Set this aside to rest for about 5 minutes.
In a separate bowl, add heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat on high speed with a hand or stand mixer until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the prepared pistachio pudding until well combined. This creates the creamy pistachio filling.
In a 9x13-inch baking dish, place a single layer of graham crackers on the bottom, breaking them as necessary to fit the edges snugly.
Spread half of the pistachio filling evenly over the graham cracker layer.
Add another complete layer of graham crackers over the pistachio filling.
Spread the remaining half of the pistachio filling over the second layer of graham crackers.
Top with a final layer of graham crackers to complete the dessert's structure.
Warm the chocolate frosting slightly in the microwave (10-15 seconds) to make it easier to spread. Stir well, then evenly spread the frosting over the top layer of graham crackers.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the crackers to soften.
Before serving, sprinkle the top with chopped pistachios for a decorative garnish, if desired. Slice into squares and enjoy!
