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…
Oooh that looks really good. I might just try this recipe out!
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.
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 am recently obsessed with all things pistachio and will be making this right now.
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 this recipe! My kids will definitely love this. It looks unique and tasty. 😀
Thanks for the recipe! I just made it to bring to my MIL’s house for Easter dinner:)! I tried the filling-so good w/ the greek yogurt-now there will be a dessert that I will indulge in!
Wow that looks phenomenal…guess what I’ll be making ASAP? 🙂 Pistachio pudding actually makes a great frosting on cakes believe it or not…delicious!
Ooo interesting! Pistachio ice cream confuses me. Haven’t had it in a long time, but now I’m curious!
I’m thinking of making the pistachio pudding on my own; anyone has an easy-to-follow recipe?
I just can’t get into pistachio…..love the color of the pie, though!
I looooooove pistachio! Have you had pistachio ice cream? Heaven.
I’ve never tried pistachio.
But I would like to try this recipe
Looks yummy.
Sans coconut.
I love pistachio! I tried pistachio fro-yo thinking I’d hate it, but it’s my favorite flavor! Your pistachio pie looks amazing!!
Have a wonderful Easter, Monica!
Happy Easter to you and all your guys too 🙂
I like it but i’d rather have mint chocolate trip!!!
Totally.
I’ll be trying this. Looks yummy!
I’ve never had pistachio ice-cream, but I love pistachios, so I’m sure it can’t be too bad! 😉 Hope you’re having an amazing Easter, Monica!
I love pistachio ice cream! Pistachio anything is delicious. Just not too fond of the synthetic, SandraLee-esque pistachio-flavored Jello recipes :\
My favorite kind of recipe! Just a few ingredients. Looks good, thanks for sharing!
Pistachio ice cream is my favorite! The pie looks great as well.
I love pistachio Yogurtland, does that count?
Yes.
I have noticed you have not posted about your husband lately…is everything ok on the home front? I am guessing not but hope I am wrong!
🙁 🙁
Love pistachio flavor! My fave when it comes to froyo!
love pistachio ice cream. I’ll have to try this!! It’s Rocky’s favorite. We used to love to go to Rite Aid for their pistachio. Do you remember? Flat-top ice cream scoops. 🙂
love Sandra Lee! 🙂 have a great Easter weekend chica!!
Happy Easter Pam!
My mom and I just shared a pistachio milkshake for her birthday. I always forget about the flavor but always really like it.
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…
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!
Oops 😉 !
Your pie recipe looks great and tasty. It is so easy to make!
