No Bake Pistachio Pie

katefox3141

Bust out of your shell and try this absolutely divine pistachio pie. Perfect for summer- it’s light, airy, and just the right amount of sweet. An absolutely refreshing treat to rival even ice cream…yeah, I went there (nuts, I know, but really, it’s a great pie). It takes about 5 minutes to put together, and if you use a premade pie crust, it’s also a no-bake option…and a no-brainer to bring to all your summer gatherings.

In a nutshell, it’s a must serve at your next backyard BBQ.

A light and air pistachio pie that is gluten free and low sugar

-If not gluten free, use any kind of premade pie crust-buttery or graham cracker crusts would go great with this recipe. If you use a regular premade pie shell, you will need to bake according to package instructions, but this is the only thing you’d need the oven for.
-The pie crust is really the only element containing sugar (2 grams per slice), so if you need it completely sugar free, I would recommend making your own crust with sugar free digestive biscuits or graham crackers.

Ingredients

*1 gluten free, premade pie crust (follow instructions on the crust packaging if it needs to be baked)
*1 1/3 cup skim or fat free milk
*1 ounce package sugar free pistachio pudding mix
*1 tsp vanilla extract
*5.5 ounces (160 g) of Cool Whip Free + additional for piping border if desired
*42 g pistachios, shelled and crushed


Directions

  1. With a whisk attachment, beat milk, extract, and pudding mix for 2 minutes, until thick.
  2. Fold in Cool Whip by hand, gently.
  3. Pour the pie filling into your premade pie crust and smooth.
  4. Let this set in the freezer for 30 minutes.
  5. To add the shell border, fit a piping bag with a 1M tip and add in a few dollops of Cool Whip and pipe border–see a video of this on my Instagram: http://instagram.com/katebakescakes87
  6. Gently spread crushed pistachios inside of the shell border.
  7. Place in the fridge to set overnight or for at least 4 hours before serving.
  8. To get super-clean slices, you can freeze this for 2 hours before serving as well.
  9. Slice and enjoy! Keep leftovers in the fridge.

Really don’t want to share it’s so good. Call me shell-fish.

Don’t be salty…just whip up a pie and you, too, can have a crack at a slice!
