Instructions
 

  • Add softened butter to a mixing bowl, beat with an electric mixer until fluffy.

  • Mix in the almond extract and mix in green food coloring, 1-2 drops at a time to brighten the green pudding color.
  • Mix in the cherries and pistachios. Cover and place in the fridge for 1 hour to firm up.
