Ah yes, an alien-looking green treat. Doesn’t that excite your inner child? This pistachio pudding is a creamy creation that exhibits robust flavor that is not overpowering in sweetness. In fact, the nuttiness of the pistachios helps to tame the sweetness of the maple syrup. The real hero of the recipe is the avocado, which not only contributes to the beautifully green color, but also enhances the creaminess of the pudding. Don’t worry, it will not taste like guacamole!
You can enjoy this pistachio pudding for breakfast, dessert, or even as an afternoon snack. If you want to go full dessert status, consider, popping a jar in the freezer and you can enjoy the pudding as a frozen treat. It makes two servings, so you can enjoy one serving as a pudding and one as an ice cream. You can also double or quadruple the recipe if you want to make more. Just keep in mind that it will only last for a few days in the fridge before it goes bad. It does, however, last longer in the freezer. Once it thaws, though, you have about a day or two to enjoy the pistachio pudding.
If you are digging the pistachio vibes and can’t seem to enjoy enough of them, feel free to add some chopped pistachios atop the pudding. This extra step adds a textural element to your pudding, but it’s an optional step. No matter how you garnish your pudding, one thing is for certain: this pudding supplies you with lots of protein, fiber, healthy fats, antioxidants, anti-inflammatory compounds, and much much more. We hope you love it!
