Here’s a classic Pistachio Jello (often called Pistachio Fluff or Watergate Salad)—easy, creamy, and no-bake 💚
Ingredients (Serves 6–8)
- 1 box (3.4 oz) instant pistachio pudding mix
- 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, do not drain
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- Optional add-ins:
- ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts
- ½ cup maraschino cherries, chopped
Instructions
- Mix pudding & pineapple:
- In a large bowl, stir together the dry pistachio pudding mix and crushed pineapple (with juice).
- Mix until thickened.
- Fold in extras:
- Gently fold in marshmallows and any optional nuts or cherries.
- Add whipped topping:
- Fold in whipped topping until fully combined and fluffy.
- Chill:
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
- Serve:
- Serve cold as a dessert or side dish.
💡 Tips:
- For a lighter version, use sugar-free pudding and light whipped topping.
- Tastes even better after chilling overnight.
- Great for holidays, potlucks, or family dinners.
If you want, I can also give you a baked pistachio dessert or a pistachio poke cake version.
