The Best Pistachio Dessert Ever Recipes

PISTACHIO DESSERT

Pistachio Dessert image

When I first fixed dinner for my father in law, he put this in his mouth and just sit there, I had no idea, I thought he wanted to spit it out, but once he swallowed it, he said he loved it and just wanted to hold it in his mouth. This was his very favorite, and everyone loves this. The cream cheese layer is sometimes hard to spread, I use the back of a large spoon and run cold water over it. Prep time includes 4 hours in the fridge before serving.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

Crust:
• 2 sleeves buttery round crackers
• ½ c melted butter
Topping:
• ½ gallon vanilla ice cream softened
• 2 (3 oz) packages instant pistachio pudding mix
• 1 ½ c milk
• 1 (12 oz) container frozen whipped topping
• ¼ c chocolate-covered toffee bits

Steps:

While you're preparing your dessert, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a large bowl, mix up the melted butter and cracker crumbs until everything is well combined.
Next, put the mixture in a 9 x 13 baking pan and gently press it down around the edges, corners, and sides of the pan.
You will bake this crust until it's golden brown, and it smells like it's been toasted. That should take around 15 minutes. Take the crust out of the oven to let it sit and cool.
The next step is to mix up the pudding, ice cream, and the milk into a large bowl. Make sure the mixture is well-blended.
Now pour it into the crust, spreading it evenly around the pan.
Top off this dessert with some toffee pieces and put it in the freezer until it's frozen, which shouldn't take more than one hour.
