No-Bake Pistachio Pudding Pie with a whipped cream topping, drizzled melted chocolate, chopped pistachios, and an oreo crust. So delicious and easy!
I grew up eating pistachio pudding. I love its green color, pistachio flavor, and the little crunchy bits of pistachio.
Perfect For Any Occasion
This no-bake Pistachio Pudding Pie makes a great holiday pie. It’s green color is perfect for Christmas, Easter or St Patrick’s Day. This pie is also a great summer treat since it is cool and creamy and no oven is needed.
Quick and Easy To Make
Best thing about this pie? It takes only minutes to make. The fantastically creamy pudding filling is a simple mixture of cream cheese, milk, heavy cream, sugar, and instant pistachio pudding mix.
Tips For Making
- You could put this pie in a graham cracker crust, but I love the way it tastes in a chocolate oreo crust.
- Make sure the cream cheese is very soft or at room temperature before using or it will be hard to get it smooth.
- Two and a half cups of Cool Whip can be used for the topping instead of homemade whipped cream.
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Can be frozen for up to 2 months.

Recipe adapted from: The Two Bite Club
I work at a high school in Texas. We had a belated Pi(e) day. I made two easy no-bake pies and did not plan to enter the competition. I was on the planning committee and wanted to be sure we had enough pies for the staff. Today, my Pistachio Puddin’ Pie was the Grand Champion! Our top ten seniors were the judges. When I walked in to get some pie for lunch, ALL of the boy judges jumped up and raved about how delicious the pie was- TEENAGE BOYS! So I shared the recipe with them and told them to make a pie for their mom on Mother’s Day.
This was amazing!
Just made this for the 2nd time. I love Pistachio anything. So good. I always add chocolate chips to the batter.
I also used a store bought pecan pie crust. So good.
Huge hit…..made it many, many times since! Love this recipe!
I made this for Easter and it was such a big hit! Everyone loved it and it was so easy to make! This will certainly be a staple
Love easy recipes that I could use for group parties. Our lodge will enjoy this.
