Holiday Pistachio Dessert

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 30 min. + chilling YIELD: 15 servings.
For my best festive menu, I make this "famous" dessert, which my children gobble up immediately. It’s a hit at every gathering! —Edie DeSpain, Logan, Utah

Ingredients

  • 1-1/4 cups biscuit/baking mix
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 6 tablespoons cold butter
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar, divided
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped, divided
  • 2-1/2 cups cold 2% milk
  • 2 packages (3.4 ounces each) instant pistachio pudding mix
  • Chocolate curls, optional

Directions

  • 1. In a small bowl, combine the biscuit mix, walnuts and brown sugar. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • 2. Press into an ungreased 13x9-in. baking pan. Bake at 375° until lightly browned, 10-12 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
  • 3. In a small bowl, beat cream cheese and 1 cup confectioners' sugar until fluffy. Fold in half of the whipped cream; spread over crust. Stir remaining confectioners' sugar into remaining whipped cream; refrigerate until serving.
  • 4. In another bowl, whisk milk and pudding mixes for 2 minutes. Let stand until soft-set, about 2 minutes. Spread over cream cheese layer. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
  • 5. Garnish with sweetened whipped cream and, if desired, chocolate curls.
