A delightful no-bake pistachio pie featuring a creamy pistachio pudding filling combined with cream cheese and Cool Whip, set in a crunchy graham cracker crust and topped with whipped cream and maraschino cherries. Perfect for a quick, easy, and refreshing dessert.

Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 6 ounces instant pistachio pudding mix (2 boxes)
  • 1.5 cups milk
  • 8 ounces Cool Whip, thawed

Crust and Decoration

  • 1 9-inch graham cracker pie crust
  • Whipped cream or Cool Whip for decorating
  • Maraschino cherries for decorating

Instructions

  1. Mix Cream Cheese and Pudding: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and the instant pistachio pudding mix. Using an electric mixer, beat them together until the mixture is smooth and well blended with no lumps.
  2. Add Milk: Slowly pour in the milk while continuing to mix. Beat the mixture until it becomes thick and creamy, ensuring a smooth consistency.
  3. Fold in Cool Whip: Gently fold in the thawed Cool Whip using a spatula to keep the mixture light and fluffy.
  4. Fill the Crust: Pour the creamy pistachio filling into the graham cracker pie crust and spread it evenly with a spatula.
  5. Chill the Pie: Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the filling to set properly.
  6. Decorate and Serve: Once set, garnish the pie with whipped cream or Cool Whip and top with maraschino cherries before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
  • Do not overmix after adding Cool Whip to avoid deflating the fluffiness.
  • Refrigerate the pie for the full recommended time for best texture and flavor.
  • Can be made a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator.
  • For a nut-free version, omit pistachio pudding and substitute with another flavor, if desired.
