This layered dessert is so perfect for Spring and would be wonderful for Easter. I have shades of green on my tea table, just like the patchwork greens in Ireland. My daughter gave me the pitcher many years ago, and the hankie is from my little mom's collection.
I couldn't resist this cute teapot from Target. It's stoneware and keeps the Irish tea hot, although it's a workout to lift!
Isn't this the most darling Queen Anne teacup and perfect for St. Patrick's Day?
I've shared this recipe on my blog in the past, but decided it needs a re-share.
Yield: 9 or more, depending on size
Pistachio Layered Dessert
This is the perfect Springtime dessert, and for a crowd, just double the ingredients for a 9x13" pan.
Ingredients
- Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups crushed chocolate cream-filled cookies (Oreos) - about 18 cookies See NOTE
- 3 T. butter melted
- Cream Cheese Layer:
- 8 oz block cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup Cool Whip
- Pudding Layer:
- 1 box Instant Pistachio pudding
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- Garnish:
- Additional Cool Whip and Chopped Pecans, Chopped Pistachios, or chopped sliced almonds
Instructions
- 1. Crush cookies and mix with melted butter. Pat into the bottom of an 8 x 8" or 9 x 9" pan. Refrigerate until next steps.
- 2. In the bowl of a mixer, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar and Cool Whip using the whisk attachment. Whip until fully combined and spread over the crust.
- 3. In a large bowl, mix pudding mix and milk until pudding is thickened. Spread over cream cheese layer. Top with additional Cool Whip and nuts and refrigerate several hours until firm.
Notes
You could use shortbread cookies, or Golden Oreos in place of the Chocolate Oreos.
Happy St. Patrick's Day and thank you for your visit! xo

ReplyDeleteWe're twinning this week with our Queen Anne clover teacups! I thought your cute cabbage teapot was vintage...I wouldn't have guessed it was from Target! I like pistachio, so I'm a fan of your layered dessert.
Looks so perfect for St. Patrick's day.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a happy day.
All the best Jan
Kitty, I love your new teapot, perfect for St. Patrick’s Day as is the lovely Queen Anne teacup. The dessert looks delicious. I hope your day was wonderful ☘️💚☘️
ReplyDeleteThat teapot will make a wonderful Easter centerpiece vessel to hold tulips at Eastertime, too. Lovely tea table today, Kitty. Hope you had a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteAlways love pistachio pudding! What a lovely tea you put together! Happy St. Patrick's Day!
ReplyDeleteHello Kitty, I am so sorry I am late but I so enjoyed your post! I love your teapot. Perfect for Spring! The pistachio dessert looks delicious and could be what I serve for Book Club.
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely tea you have shared with us. Thank you! 💚
That pistachio dessert is the best! I don’t think I have made that in about 20 years. I used to make it all of the time when I was newly married because it was so easy, and so good. How appropriate for St. Patrick’s Day.
ReplyDeleteKitty, a perfect nod for St. Patrick’s day. The teapot is darling as is the teacup. The pistachio dessert looks delicious and so worthy of celebrating the green.
ReplyDeleteThis looks so light and creamy! Stopping over from Talking About It Tuesday. I need to try this recipe!!
