Ingredients
  

For the Pudding:

  • 1 package 3.4 oz pistachio pudding mix (instant or homemade)
  • 2 cups cold milk whole milk for extra creaminess, or almond milk for a dairy-free option
  • ½ cup whipped topping Cool Whip or homemade whipped cream

For the Add-ins:

  • 1 cup fresh grapes halved; red, green, or black for variety
  • ¼ cup chopped pistachios for a crunchy texture
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup optional, for extra sweetness

For Garnish (Optional):

  • Extra whipped topping
  • A sprinkle of crushed pistachios
  • A few whole grapes for a decorative touch

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pistachio Pudding

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the pistachio pudding mix and cold milk.
  • Use a whisk to blend them together for about 2 minutes until the mixture thickens and becomes smooth.
  • Allow the pudding to set for 5 minutes to fully thicken up.

Add the Whipped Topping

  • Carefully fold in the whipped topping until fully incorporated.
  • This step will make the pudding extra creamy and give it a light, fluffy texture.

Mix in Grapes and Pistachios

  • Gently fold in the halved grapes to distribute them evenly throughout the pudding.
  • Add the chopped pistachios for that perfect nutty crunch. This combination of sweet grapes and crunchy pistachios will balance the creaminess of the pudding perfectly.
  • Optional: Add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup if you like a touch of extra sweetness.

Chill the Pudding

  • Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This gives the pudding time to set and the flavors to meld together.
  • Before serving, stir the pudding gently, and feel free to add a bit more whipped topping on top.

Serve and Enjoy

  • To serve, scoop portions into bowls or dessert cups.
  • For a fancy presentation, top with extra grapes, crushed pistachios, or a little extra whipped topping.
  • Enjoy the creamy, nutty goodness of this delightful pistachio pudding with grapes!
