Description

This Easy No Bake Pistachio Cream Pie is a delightful, creamy dessert that comes together quickly without the need for baking. Featuring a pre-made graham cracker crust filled with a luscious pistachio pudding and cream cheese mixture, folded with whipped topping for an airy texture, this pie is perfect for a light, refreshing treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 pre-made 9-inch graham cracker crust

Filling

  • 1 small box instant pistachio pudding mix (3.4-ounce)
  • 1 cup cold milk (dairy or non-dairy for a lighter option)
  • 3 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature (light cream cheese works too!)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 8 ounces frozen whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed

Instructions

  1. Mix pudding and milk: In a large mixing bowl, gently whisk together the instant pistachio pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes until it begins to thicken slightly.
  2. Prepare cream cheese mixture: In a separate smaller bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy, resembling a thick frosting.
  3. Combine mixtures: Carefully add the cream cheese mixture to the pudding mixture and beat on medium-high speed until everything is well combined and perfectly smooth.
  4. Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping with a rubber spatula until the mixture is a uniform pale green color with no white streaks, helping to maintain a light and airy texture.
  5. Fill the crust: Spoon the creamy filling into the prepared graham cracker pie crust, spreading evenly.
  6. Chill the pie: Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours until it is perfectly chilled and set, then slice and serve.

Notes

  • Use a pre-made crust to keep this recipe super easy and fast.
  • For a lighter version, opt for light cream cheese and non-dairy milk.
  • Ensure the cream cheese and butter are softened beforehand for smoother mixing.
  • Do not overmix once whipped topping is folded in to keep the pie airy.
  • Chill thoroughly for the best texture and ease of slicing.
