Pistachio Layered Dessert

What I love most about this no-bake dessert is how the flavors and textures come together in every bite.

The crunchy crust pairs perfectly with the smooth cream cheese and the pistachio pudding, giving you sweet, nutty, and tangy flavors that will have you reaching for seconds.

Ingredients

• Pecan shortbread cookies • Salted butter • Cream cheese • Pistachio instant pudding • Vanilla extract • Shelled pistachios

Start by preparing the cookie crust. Place the pecan shortbread cookies in a sealable bag and crush them into fine crumbs using a rolling pin.

1

Transfer the cookie crumbs to a bowl and mix in the melted butter until well combined. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of your baking dish.

2

For the cream cheese layer, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together in a large bowl using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy.

3

Spread this mixture evenly over the chilled cookie crust, then return the pan to the refrigerator or freezer.

4

Now, it's time for the pistachio pudding layer. In a large bowl, whisk together the instant pudding mix and cold milk until the mixture thickens, which should take about two minutes.
