For a richer flavor, use whole milk instead of lower-fat varieties. To elevate the presentation, consider garnishing with additional chopped pistachios or a dusting of powdered sugar. If you cannot find pistachio pudding mix, vanilla pudding mix can be used as a substitute, adding a teaspoon of pistachio extract for flavor.

Jun 30, 2025Make sure to let the pudding thicken properly before pouring it over the cake. Otherwise, it will be too runny.
