Love 3 ingredient desserts? They have definitely become a go-to around here. It was about time to add a pistachio dessert to my list. 3 Ingredient Pistachio Dessert with Cool Whip and crushed pineapple is an easy win.

Add a cherry and a little whipped cream on top and you're in for a surprisingly delicious treat.

I'll admit that I was hesitant to make this green dessert. As silly as it sounds, I am not really a fan of green desserts in general.

For some reason, I find myself actively avoiding anything pistachio flavored... but somehow I'm never disappointed. Maybe it feels like something that's too old fashioned? Or maybe that's the magic in it?

But, now that I've gone ahead and made this pistachio fruit dessert, I'll admit it's totally worth getting passed all of these silly little things.

This dessert with pistachio pudding and pineapple comes together so easily and it's absolutely delicious. If you have a craving for something sweet, this will definitely do the trick. You will be amazed at how these three simple ingredients come together for a masterpiece for your mouth.

Adding some whipped cream and a cherry on top isn't mandatory, but you won't want to miss it. It really adds more luxurious flavor to this simple pistachio pudding dessert.

PISTACHIO DESSERT WITH 3 INGREDIENTS

Pistachio pudding desserts tend to be extra popular during the holiday season, so I thought it would be a great time to finally share this since I've had it sitting in draft mode since this summer.

Add a cherry on top and you just can't get more festive than that. And with this simple list of ingredients, it's also a great easy recipe to make to keep the stress out of the kitchen.

Here is all you need to make this:

Pistachio Pudding Mix
Crushed Pineapple
Whipped Topping like Cool Whip

Just adding these ingredients together and chilling for about an hour is all it takes. I like to serve this in mini parfait cups. It's extra sweet so it does not take much to satisfy that sweet tooth. This would also make a tremendous filling in a layer cake like this Lush Cake.

Some people call recipes similar to this a pistachio pudding salad, but that always sounds so weird to me. I'll just stick to calling this an easy pistachio dessert with crushed pineapple. Sound good?
