Instructions:
- In a large bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Stir until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to form a crust.
- In another bowl, whisk together the pistachio pudding mix and whole milk. Continue whisking until the mixture thickens, about 2 minutes.
- In a separate mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold the thickened pistachio pudding into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
- Fold in 12 oz of the whipped topping into the pudding mixture until well incorporated.
- Spread the pistachio mixture evenly over the graham cracker crust in the baking dish.
- Refrigerate the dessert for at least 4 hours, or until set.
- Before serving, spread the remaining whipped topping over the dessert and sprinkle with M&Ms for a festive touch. Cut into squares and enjoy!
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
- For an extra touch, consider adding crushed pistachios on top along with the M&Ms.
- Letting the dessert chill overnight enhances the flavors and allows it to set properly.
- This dessert can be made a day in advance, making it a perfect make-ahead treat.
