LAYERED PISTACHIO DESSERT (USES JELL-O PUDDING MIX)
This recipe reminds me of those big, fun family dinners we used to have when I was a kid. This is one of my favorite recipes of my grandmother's. The layers consist of a nutty baked bottom crust, creamy cheesecake-like center and top layer of pistachio pudding. If desired, you could also use any other flavor of pudding mix. Yummy!

BANANA PUDDING WITH PISTACHIO CRUMBLE
This banana pudding is not the usual vanilla-wafer-topped affair, and it doesn't come from the South. It came to The Times in 2013 from Fedora, a restaurant in Manhattan, and it is divine: a rich, creamy custard fragrant with puréed ripe banana, topped with lightly salted, crisp crumbles of pistachio butter cookie. It is also irresistible - sweet, creamy, salty, crunchy - and all too easy to lap up. The pudding and crumble can be made entirely in advance (up to three days), though don't sprinkle the crumbs over the top until you're ready to serve. You want to maintain the crunch for as long as possible, and once the cookie meets the pudding, the countdown begins.

Steps:
- Using an immersion or standard blender, purée bananas until very smooth. Set aside.
- In a medium pot set over medium heat, combine milk, cream, 150 grams (3/4 cup) sugar, cornstarch, vanilla bean and seeds, and 2 grams (1/2 teaspoon) salt, and cook, whisking, until liquid comes to a simmer and begins to thicken. Take the pot off the heat and whisk in banana purée, egg yolks and 3 tablespoons butter. Return pot to the heat and bring the mixture back to a simmer, whisking constantly. Cook for another 3 to 5 minutes, until thick.
- Transfer the pudding to a bowl set in a larger bowl filled with ice water and whisk for 5 or until the pudding is cool to touch. Discard vanilla bean, divide the pudding in serving bowls, cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
- Meanwhile, prepare the crumble. Heat oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a small saucepan set over medium heat, melt the remaining 12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) butter and set aside to cool.
- In a food processor, pulse the pistachios a few times until roughly chopped. Add the flour, remaining 150 grams (3/4 cup) sugar, and remaining 2 grams (1/2 teaspoon) salt, and pulse until the ingredients are just combined. Add the melted butter and pulse a few times until the mixture forms pea-sized crumbs.
- Transfer the crumbs to the prepared baking sheet. Bake until crumble starts to brown at the edges, about 15 minutes. Remove pan from the oven and using a flat spatula, flip the crumble over, piece by piece, so that the browned side is now on the bottom. The pieces will break apart; this is O.K. Bake for another 8 to 10 minutes, or until the crumble is golden-brown and very crisp. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely before breaking apart into crumbs. Serve crumble sprinkled over the banana pudding. (You will have extra crumble.)

Steps:
- 1. Mix all the ingredients until combined.
- 2. Pour batter into a greased microwavable (standard size) coffee mug.
- 3. Microwave at highest setting for aproxiamtely 90 seconds. Please note that cooking times vary depending on your microwave and you will need to watch the batter as it cooks. I find that once you notice the batter rise to it's highest point, give it an additional 20 seconds in the microwave and quickly check to see if the cake springs back when you press the center of the batter. If it does not spring back, microwave at 15 second intervals and checking every time until it does so. Do not over-cook otherwise it'll dry out.
Tips:
- To make the smoothest pudding, make sure to use a blender or food processor to blend the pistachios until they are very fine.
- If you don't have a blender or food processor, you can finely chop the pistachios by hand, but be sure to chop them as finely as possible.
- For a richer pudding, use heavy cream instead of milk.
- If you want a vegan pudding, use almond milk or soy milk instead of cow's milk, and use vegan butter instead of regular butter.
- To make the pudding ahead of time, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- When you're ready to serve the pudding, top it with whipped cream, chopped pistachios, or fresh berries.
Conclusion:
Pistachio pudding is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is smooth, creamy, and packed with pistachio flavor. Whether you make it with fresh or roasted pistachios, this pudding is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give pistachio pudding a try!
