Every time I make a recipe with Jell-o Pudding I think,
“I am the mother f-ing Sandra Lee of Semi-Healthy cooking!” (image source)
Then I think, “How does that lady stay so skinny? I want to eat this whole thing…”
And then I do. Oops.
Pistachio Pudding Pie Recipe
Ingredients:
-
Pie Crust, premade because this is semi-homemade style
-
Jell-o Pistachio Pudding mix
-
2 cups plain Greek yogurt
-
1 cup crushed pineapple
-
optional: shredded coconut
I think this is a super old school Weight Watchers recipe. My co-worker was a big fan of WW and told me about it. The OG version uses cool whip instead of Greek yogurt, but we like protein up in here so do the Greek.
Directions: Mix the yogurt, pudding mix and pineapple. Carefully spread in the pie crust. Refrigerate for 4 hours minimum to set.
Optional: Sprinkle with coconut because it looks nice and we’re trying to be all Stepford Wives Sandra Lee style and she would have wanted it that way.
Eat! All of it. Because I’m not Sandra Lee and I won’t judge you.
Question: Do you like pistachio ice cream?
My brother and I are big fans. It’s the only thing we have in common besides red hair…
Jen says
Oooh that looks really good. I might just try this recipe out!
Tom Richards says
Oh man, my mother in law used to make pistachio cake that would just melt. This pie recipe looks like it may be even better so guess what I am doing this weekend? Thanks a bunch.
Susan says
I like pistachios but I’ve never tried pistachio ice cream. However something tells me that I wouldn’t like it. And often I find it best to tell myself that I don’t like something (even if I haven’t tried it) because it I try it and like it…DANGER WILL ROBINSON!
And a side note – they say that if you buy pistachios in the shell that it slows you down and you don’t eat as many or as fast…yeah, I don’t think that is really true! LOL 🙂

I love pistachio everything but can no longer eat any of it or I will die from massive allergic reaction. It makes me terribly sad.

I love pistachio ice cream! Pistachio anything is delicious. Just not too fond of the synthetic, SandraLee-esque pistachio-flavored Jello recipes :\

My mom and I just shared a pistachio milkshake for her birthday. I always forget about the flavor but always really like it.
Jodea @ chillichocolatelove says
Pistachio is one of my favourite ice cream flavours, and I’m Greek so all about that protein. I have noticed your particular fondness for green puddings lately…
runeatrepeat says
Ha! I know. I brainstormed a few St. Patty’s day recipe ideas and liked all of them so I made all of them 🙂 Didn’t mean too!
jodea @ chillichocolatelove.com says
