Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
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.
Stir in the chopped pistachios, then press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking pan to form the crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove and let it cool completely.
In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.
Fold in 1 cup of the whipped topping, then spread this mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
In another bowl, whisk the instant pistachio pudding mix and milk together until thickened (this may take about 2-3 minutes).
Spread the prepared pudding over the cream cheese layer.
Spread the remaining whipped topping evenly over the pudding layer.
If desired, sprinkle additional chopped pistachios on top for garnish.
Refrigerate the torte for at least 2 hours to fully set before slicing and serving.
