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
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!
