I add 50 percent to the crust, makes it easier to spread the cool whip mixture... and I love the crust! I have made with with Chocolate, or butterscotch, or lemon. All work great, but pistachio is still my favorite! Lemon is my second choice. Oh, I use half a big tub cool whip in with the cream cheese and powdered sugar, and the other half for the top... which also makes it easier to spread. Another idea... SUGARFREE!!! Use sugarfree cream cheese pudding in place of the powdered sugar, and sugarfree pistachio, and sugarfree cool whip.... not exactly healthy, but better for diabetics than the original. A compromise!

I love this. I add Graham cracker crumbles to the crust and love it with shaved almonds on top. I also tend to go extra on the cool whip. It's a hit EVERY TIME!

Awesome!!!! I used to make it and lost the recipe. Made it for New Years!!! It is my last dessert to enjoy before the dieting starts. YUM!!!!!

We love this... We call it Grinch Goo for the holidays! The family enjoys every bite.

My grandma has made this dessert since I can remember except with chocolate pudding and then pistachio and pineapple pudding on the side. The chocolate pudding way is FANTASTIC & is a hit to everyone that eats it.

This pistachio pudding Dessert is my favorite and my family adores it... great dessert for anytime and a must have for Easter Brunch... delicious!!!

First time I've made this, was a success.

I used to make this dessert all the time when my kids were growing up and we loved it; then I lost the recipe !!! NOW I HAVE FINALLY FOUND IT AGAIN ! I am soooo happy. Thank you very much, Happy Holidays !

Amazing, simply delicious! In the crust I use pistachios instead of walnuts and I sprinkle them on top as well! Pistachios make it awesome!

At Christmas time, I cut maraschino cherries into quarters and scatter them on the top. The red of the cherries, the Cool Whip and the green of the Pistachio pudding makes it look quite festive!

I had this at a church function and it was amazing. The lady that made it called it "Amazing Grace" desert. She gave me the recipe and I made it once and lost the recipe. You can actually use any two flavors of pudding. She used butterscotch and chocolate. I used chocolate and vanilla, and we both topped it with chocolate shavings instead of nuts. It is so rich and delicious!

Here is the pistachio dessert! And she used dream whip instead of cool whip and then topped with a dab and chocolate shavings. Enjoy!

My grandma made this. What you are talking about pistachio with the Dream Whip, can't find it.

This is the most delicious pistachio dessert recipe ever!!! I use walnuts for the crust and also I never add the extra layer of cool whip and chopped nuts on the top. Turns out great every time!

This is my favorite ever. I make a pan just for myself and eat it for days, sure I share if someone comes over but that is about it.

I have made this ALOT this summer and when I took it to our family 4th of July get together my brother-in-law said I couldn't come to his house without this desert with me. So now I have made it again, 2 batches and I doubled the cream cheese mixer (sisters request) for my brother-in-laws birthday.
