PISTACHIO CREAM PIE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, milk and pudding mix until smooth. Fold in pineapple. Spoon into crust., Spread with whipped topping; sprinkle with coconut. Refrigerate until serving.

PISTACHIO CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease and lightly flour three 9-inch cake pans.
• Pulse the pistachios in a food processor until ground up into very fine crumbs. See photo above for a visual. You'll have about 1 and 1/2 cups of crumbs. (If you have more than that, set aside for garnish.)
• Pour 1 and 1/2 cups of pistachio crumbs in a large bowl. Whisk in the cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
• Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle or whisk attachment, beat the butter and sugar together on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. Beat in the egg whites on high speed until combined, about 2 minutes. Beat in the sour cream, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl as needed. With the mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients until just incorporated. With the mixer still running on low, pour in the milk (and the green food coloring, if using) and mix just until combined. You may need to whisk it all by hand to make sure there are no lumps at the bottom of the bowl. The batter will be slightly thick.
• Pour batter evenly into cake pans. Bake for around 21-23 minutes or until the cakes are baked through. To test for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, it's done. Allow cakes to cool completely in the pans set on a wire rack. The cakes must be completely cool before frosting and assembling.
• Prepare the cream cheese frosting (see note below).
• Using a large serrated knife, slice a thin layer off the tops of the cakes to create a flat surface. Discard (or crumble over ice cream!). Place 1 cake layer on your cake stand, cake turntable, or serving plate. Evenly cover the top with frosting. Top with 2nd layer and evenly cover the top with more frosting. Top with the third cake layer. Spread the frosting all over the top and sides. (I used a bench scraper to smooth out the sides.) Decorate with garnishes, if desired. Refrigerate for at least 30-45 minutes before slicing. This helps the cake keep its shape when cutting.
• Cover leftover cake tightly and store in the refrigerator for 5 days.

JELL-O PISTACHIO PIE

Steps:

• Make box of Jell-O Pistachio Pudding Mix according to instructions; allow to soft-set for about seven minutes. This is two minutes more than it says on the box, but it will allow it to set a little more firmly.
• With a spoon, fill graham cracker pie crust with pistachio pudding. Press the bottom of the spoon lightly onto the pudding and smooth it, using sweeping motions across the whole pie.
• Optional: Take 1/2 cup Cool Whip and place into a piping bag. For a makeshift piping bag, spoon some Cool Whip into a Zip-Loc plastic baggie and cut off one of the corners at the bottom of the bag. Pipe large dollops of Cool Whip around the pie, spacing them apart evenly.
• Put pie into refrigerator and allow to set for one hour; for a firmer pie, place in the freezer for twenty minutes.

EASY PISTACHIO PUDDING PIE

Steps:

• Beat pudding mixes and milk in large bowl with whisk 2 min. (Mixture will be thick.)
• Spoon 1-1/2 cups pudding into crust; top with marshmallows. Stir 1-1/2 cups COOL WHIP into remaining pudding; spoon over marshmallow layer in crust.
• Refrigerate 3 hours. Top with remaining COOL WHIP just before serving.

PISTACHIO PIE

Steps:

• Combine with a mixer Dream Whip and 1 cup milk.
• Add vanilla and almond extracts and mix.
• Add pudding mix and remaining milk and beat until thickened and fluffy.
• Pour into pie shell and refrigerate.

PISTACHIO PUDDING PIE

Steps:

• Put the pistachios in a high speed blender. In a medium saucepan, gently bring coconut milk and salt (if using unsalted pistachios) to a boil, stirring with a rubber spatula. Pour over the pistachios. Put the lid on the blender and let steep for 5 to 10 minutes. Blend until smooth and transfer back to the saucepan.
• In a large, 8-cup liquid measure or a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, egg yolks, sweetened condensed milk and cornstarch until fully combined with no lumps.
• Gently bring the pistachio mixture to a boil over medium heat (it will be pretty thick), stirring and scraping the bottom continuously. Ladle about 1/3 cup of the pistachio mixture into the egg mixture, whisking vigorously. Add another 1/3 cup, whisking again. Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low to medium heat until the pudding is bubbly and thick. Continue to whisk, alternating between this and scraping the bottom with a wood spoon. This will take around 6 to 8 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and add the rose water if using and the almond extract. Add in the food coloring if using and stir to combine. Set aside to cool completely, or cool over an ice bath. Pour into the crust and refrigerate until set- at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Once the pie is set, add a dollop of whipped cream on top.
• Decorate with dried rose petals, chopped pistachios and serve. Keep refrigerated.
• Set an oven rack in the middle position. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In the food processor, pulse the cookies into fine and evenly-sized crumbs. Add the melted butter and salt and process until the mixture starts to clump. Transfer to a 9-inch pie dish. Using the flat bottom of a dry measuring cup (or a drinking glass) press the crumbs into an even layer on the bottom and sides. Bake in the oven for 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool completely.
• Just before serving the Pistachio Pudding Pie, whip heavy cream and powdered sugar to soft peaks.

PISTACHIO CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Combine the flour, walnuts, and butter and mix well. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch pan. Bake in the preheated oven until the nuts are fragrant and the crust is lightly browned, 20 to 30 minutes. Cool.
• Mix together the cream cheese, vanilla, confectioners' sugar, and 1 cup whipped topping. Beat well, and spread the filling over the cooled crust. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Mix the instant pudding with milk until thick. Spread the pudding over the cream cheese layer. Top with remaining whipped topping, sprinkle with nuts, and decorate with maraschino cherries.
