1 1/4 cups water (or per package)
3 1/2 ounces instant pistachio pudding mix (jello instant)
2 cups whole milk
1/8 cup powdered sugar
8 ounces Cool Whip

  • cool completely and frost with cool whip or pudding (or mix).
  • refrigerate at least 1 hour, or overnight.

Tips:

  • To make the perfect whipped cream frosting, use heavy cream that is at least 35% fat.
  • Make sure your cream is very cold before whipping it. This will help it whip up faster and achieve stiffer peaks.
  • Add a little bit of sugar to the cream as you're whipping it. This will help to stabilize the frosting and make it less likely to curdle.
  • If you want a flavored frosting, add a few drops of extract or a tablespoon of liqueur to the whipped cream before whipping it.
  • For the pistachio cake, use a fine-mesh sieve to sift the flour and baking powder together. This will help to ensure that the cake is light and fluffy.
  • Be sure to toast the pistachios before adding them to the cake batter. This will bring out their flavor and make them more fragrant.
  • When making the poke holes in the cake, use a wooden skewer or toothpick. This will help to prevent the cake from tearing.
  • Pour the milk mixture over the warm cake slowly, allowing it to absorb evenly.
  • Chill the cake for at least 30 minutes before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
