Description
This creamy and nutty pistachio pudding is taken to the next level with the juicy burst of fresh grapes. A delightful fusion of flavors and textures, this dessert is easy to make and perfect for any occasion. Serve it chilled for a refreshing treat!
Ingredients
• 1 box (3.4 oz) instant pistachio pudding mix
• 2 cups cold milk
• ½ cup whipped topping (optional, for extra creaminess)
• ½ cup shelled pistachios, chopped
• 1 cup seedless grapes, halved
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• Whipped cream (for topping, optional)
• Additional chopped pistachios and grapes for garnish
Instructions
1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pistachio pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes until it thickens.
2. Fold in the whipped topping (if using) to make it extra creamy.
3. Stir in the vanilla extract, chopped pistachios, and halved grapes.
4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to set.
5. Serve chilled, topped with whipped cream and additional pistachios and grapes for garnish.
Notes
• Use red or green grapes for a colorful contrast.
• Substitute almond extract for vanilla for a more nutty depth of flavor.
• For a homemade pudding version, cook a pistachio custard with milk, cornstarch, and ground pistachios instead of using instant mix.
