Equipment

  • Electric Mixer

Ingredients
  

  • 226 grams cream cheese, softened, (8 oz)
  • 1 box jello pistachio pudding mix, (96 g / 3.4 oz)
  • 1 can crushed pineapple, undrained, (567 g / 20 oz / 1 lb 4 oz)
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1 container Cool Whip whipped topping, (8 oz / 226 g)
  • graham cracker pie crust, store bought or homemade

Toppings - Optional

  • whipped topping, can or fresh whipped
  • maraschino cherries
  • ¼ cup pistachio nuts, chopped

Instructions
 

  • In large bowl, add the cream cheese and jello mix.
  • Beat with an electric mixer until the cream cheese is light and fluffy.
  • Add the undrained can of crushed pineapple and mix together with the cream cheese using the electric mixer.
  • Stir in the marshmallows.
  • Fold in the whipped topping. (I forgot to get a photo after this step.)
  • Spoon mixture into the prepared pie crust. Place in the fridge for at least 3 hours to chill and set up.

For the Topping - Optional

  • Before serving, use a can of whipped cream, or pipe if using fresh made whipped cream, and add a border around the top of the pie. Place cherries as desired on top of the whipped cream, and sprinkle with chopped pistachios as desired.
  • Slice, serve, and enjoy.

Notes

High cost per serving just based on the limited availability of the whipped topping and pistachio jello. I will prepare this using fresh made whipped cream and will comment on how that goes.
