Ingredients

1 graham cracker crust

1 (3.4 oz) box instant pistachio pudding mix

1 ½ cups cold milk

8 oz whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed

2 to 3 drops green food coloring (optional)

1 red candy heart or sprinkles for garnish

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant pistachio pudding mix and milk for 2 minutes until thickened.

2. Add green food coloring if desired, then fold in the whipped topping gently until smooth and well incorporated.

3. Pour the mixture into the prepared graham cracker crust and smooth the top with a spatula.

4. Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until set. For best results, chill overnight.

5. Just before serving, decorate with a red candy heart or festive sprinkles in the center. Slice and serve chilled.

Notes

For a deeper green color, use gel food coloring instead of liquid.

Don’t skip chilling—it’s key for setting the pie properly.

Want a richer base? Use a chocolate cookie crust for extra contrast and flavor.
