Ingredients

• 2 boxes (3.4 oz each) instant pistachio pudding mix

• 4 cups cold milk

• 16 oz whipped topping (thawed), divided

• 1 box (about 14.4 oz) graham crackers

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the pistachio pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes until thick and smooth. Let it sit for 3–5 minutes to fully set.

2. Gently fold in 8 oz (half) of the whipped topping until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. This forms the pistachio cream layer.

3. Spread a thin layer of pistachio cream on the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish to anchor the base.

4. Add a single layer of graham crackers, breaking pieces as needed to cover the bottom evenly.

5. Spread half of the remaining pistachio cream over the graham crackers in an even layer.

6. Add another layer of graham crackers on top.

7. Spread the remaining pistachio cream evenly over the second layer of graham crackers.

8. Place a final layer of graham crackers on top, pressing gently so they stick.

9. Spread the remaining 8 oz of whipped topping evenly over the top layer.

10. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until the layers are set and the graham crackers soften into a cake-like texture.

11. Slice into squares and serve chilled. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
