Ingredients
- 1 package (3.4 ounces) instant pistachio pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
- 1 cup whipped topping
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- Green food coloring (optional)
- Whipped cream and chopped pistachios for garnish
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until the texture resembles wet sand. Divide evenly among serving cups, pressing down to create a crust layer.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the pistachio pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes until thickened.
- Gently fold in the whipped topping until fully combined. If you want a deeper green color, add a few drops of green food coloring and mix well.
- Spoon or pipe the mousse over the graham cracker crust in each cup, smoothing the top.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the mousse to set.
- Before serving, top each mousse cup with whipped cream and a sprinkle of chopped pistachios.
Notes
- Use a food processor to create fine graham cracker crumbs for a smooth crust.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding a tablespoon of powdered sugar to the mousse if desired.
- For a dairy-free option, use almond milk and a plant-based whipped topping.
- These mousse cups can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator until serving.
- For a fun twist, replace the graham cracker crust with crushed Oreos or Biscoff cookies.
