Description
This Creamy Pistachio Pudding with Grapes is a delightful fusion of nutty, smooth pistachio pudding and juicy, refreshing grapes. It’s a perfect dessert for any occasion—light, creamy, and bursting with flavor!
Ingredients
• 1 box (3.4 oz) instant pistachio pudding mix
• 2 cups cold milk (or dairy-free alternative)
• ½ cup whipped topping (optional, for extra creaminess)
• ½ cup shelled pistachios, chopped
• 1 cup seedless grapes, halved
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¼ teaspoon cinnamon (optional, for warmth)
• Whipped cream for topping (optional)
• Additional chopped pistachios and grapes for garnish
Instructions
1. Prepare Pudding: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pistachio pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes until it thickens.
2. Enhance Creaminess: Fold in the whipped topping (if using) for a lighter, creamier texture.
3. Add Flavor & Texture: Stir in vanilla extract, chopped pistachios, and halved grapes. Mix gently to distribute evenly.
4. Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to set.
5. Serve & Garnish: Spoon into serving cups, top with whipped cream, and sprinkle with extra chopped pistachios and grapes for a beautiful finish.
Notes
• Use red or green grapes for a colorful contrast.
• Substitute almond extract for vanilla for a deeper nutty flavor.
• For a homemade pudding version, cook a pistachio custard with milk, cornstarch, sugar, and ground pistachiosinstead of using instant mix.
• Make it vegan by using dairy-free milk and coconut whipped cream.
