Easy Pistachio Pie
I made this exactly as written and it is delicious, my family loved this! Easy to assemble and looks beautiful when served.
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.
