Ideal Quick Dessert For Entertaining That Is Luxurious But Not To Rich – Pistachio Dessert Lasagna Recipe
Have you ever heard of Lush Dessert?
A layered dessert with a graham cracker or cookie crust, a layer of no-bake cheesecake, some form of pudding, and whipped cream is known as a lush dessert. Dessert lasagna, icebox dessert, and layered pudding dessert are some of the other names for it.
I’ll never forget my first taste of a lush dessert. It was during a summer picnic with relatives and friends, and I was in heaven the moment I took my first piece of that cake. The flavor was banana, which I love, and it tasted exactly like banana cream pie but ten times better. This kind of pudding is a nostalgic food for me because it reminds me of my youth. As a kid, I adored it, so much!
And what has happened since then? I’ve been intrigued with experimenting with new flavors. What about this Pistachio Lush? Inadvertently, I got myself into this one. By volunteering to prepare my bestie a birthday dessert, who informed me that Pistachio Lush is her absolute favorite!
Pistachio is also one of my favorite flavors. I love pistachio cookies, yogurt, ice cream,… But these bars are simple, easy to make and taste great! For summer entertaining, I also enjoy a good rich dessert. They’re nice and refreshing, and they’ll last 3 to 5 days in the fridge. Some of my favorites include Butterscotch Lush, Butterfinger Lush, and Lemon Lush.
But there are times when I really want some pistachio pudding, and Pistachio Lush comes to the rescue. The layers of this creamy dessert are incredible, and they are completely delectable and fluffy in taste. A graham cracker layer is on the bottom, followed by a cream cheese layer, pistachio pudding layer, and Cool Whip layer.
This Pistachio Lush is the ideal quick dessert for entertaining, especially when you’re looking for somєthing luxurious but not too rich. You must attempt the Best Pistachio Dessert Recipe as soon as possible. You’ll be astounded by how delicious and sweet these delights are.

Total Time: 1 hr 20 mins
INGREDIENTS
PISTACHIO LAYER:
3 cups milk
2 pkgs instant pistachio pudding
CRUST:
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup flour
1/2 cup stick butter (cut up)
CHEESE LAYER:
1 cup whipped topping
8 oz cream cheese at room temperature
1 cup confectioner’s sugar
TOPPING:
2 cups whipped topping
1/2 cup toasted almonds optional, but recommended
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and line a 13×9 inch baking pan.
Combine the flour and chopped up butter in a large mixing basin. Cut the butter into the flour with a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture resembles small peas.
Add the walnuts and mix well.
Fill a 13 x 9-inch pan halfway with the mixture and press it down, firmly.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until the base seems to turn light brown.
Once it’s done. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool completely.
Cream together cream cheese, confectioners’ sugar, and 1 cup whipped topping until smooth and velvety. When it reaches the consistency, this should be spread over the cooled crust in the pan.
To make pistachio pudding, stir the pistachios into the milk thoroughly for 1-2 minutes, or until the pudding thickens.
Use a spoon, spread the pudding on top of the cheese layer.
Keep the cake chilled in the fridge for about 2-3 hours to let it set and harden.
If you want to, spread 2 cups of whipped cream on top of the cake, then sprinkle the toasted almonds to garnish and reach its best flavor.
