- 2 cups milk (whole or 2% recommended)
Whipped Cream
- 1 cup whipped cream (plus extra for topping)
Garnishes
- 1/2 cup crushed pistachios

Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Assemble all necessary ingredients including pistachio pudding mix, milk, whipped cream, crushed pistachios, and maraschino cherries.
- Mix Pudding: In a medium mixing bowl, pour the pistachio pudding mix and add 2 cups of milk. Whisk the mixture thoroughly until it becomes smooth and well combined without lumps.
- Fold in Whipped Cream: Gently fold 1 cup of whipped cream into the pudding mixture to add a light and fluffy texture to the dessert.
- Refrigerate: Transfer the pudding mixture into individual serving cups or a large bowl. Cover them with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the pudding to set and chill properly.

Notes
- For a richer pudding, use whole milk as recommended.
- To make it vegan, substitute dairy milk with plant-based milk and use coconut or almond whipped cream.
- Ensure pudding is chilled for at least 2 hours for optimal texture.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- For added flavor, consider mixing a teaspoon of vanilla extract into the pudding mixture before folding in whipped cream.
