Notes

  • Pudding mix: Be sure to use instant pudding, not cook and serve.
  • Cool Whip: You can use another type of frozen whipped topping, like Truwhip, if you prefer. 
  • Pistachios: I like to use chopped pistachios with the chopped pudding. You can use chopped pecans or walnuts if you prefer.
