This Keto Pistachio Pudding Pie brought back some tasty childhood memories! The rich and luscious filling doesn’t require cooking, making this delicious low carb pudding pie fast and easy.  If you’re keeping score, this quick keto dessert is winning by all counts!!!

When I was a kid there was a friend of my mom’s who used to bring the same sheet pan dessert to every gathering.  It had a base of cookie crust, topped with cream cheese, then pistachio pudding, and whipped cream on top.  I was never a fan of the cream cheese layer back then, but I used to love the pistachio pudding and whipped cream.

I’ve recreated this nostalgic summer favorite (for me at least) into a Keto Pistachio Pudding Pie that has all of the components I loved as a kid.

Be warned that I went with store bought, unnaturally bright green, and artificially sweetened pudding for this recipe.  This is not health food and I’m not going to pretend that it is.

But ohhhhhh is it GOOOOOOOOD!  And therefore totally worth the unhealthy pudding ingredients to make it.  So if it fits your macros (only 5g net carbs) you can go for it, and believe me, you really really should!

I started with my easy keto pistachio shortbread cookie dough to make the crust.  Bake for about 12 minutes and that’s the only cooking required for this delectable keto pistachio pudding pie – not bad, amiright?

You don’t have to actually make the pudding according to the instructions – instead we’re mixing it with almond milk and mascarpone cheese to help it set quicker and have a thick, creamy consistency.

Then of course we top with a generous amount of whipped cream and some chopped pistachios.

Seriously, it doesn’t get a whole lot easier than this.

You can eat this pie immediately after making – no extra chilling or freezing required for it to set.  Which is awesome because you are going to want to have at this beauty ASAP!

I can’t even with how much I loved this keto pistachio pudding pie.  I served it to friends recently at a gathering and it was a huge hit with even the non-ketoers, and nobody seemed to mind the flavor of the artificial sweetener.  It’s well masked by the pistachio flavor and rich creaminess of the filling.

  • Author: Mellissa Sevigny
  • Prep Time: 20 minutes
  • Cook Time: 12 minutes
  • Total Time: 32 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings
  • Category: Easy Keto Desserts

Ingredients

For the pie crust:

  • 1 batch keto pistachio shortbread cookie dough

For the filling and garnish:

  • 8 ounces mascarpone cheese
  • 1.5 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 packages sugar free pistachio pudding mix
  • 2 tablespoons confectioners style powdered erythritol
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons chopped pistachios for garnish

Instructions

For the crust:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. (while waiting for the oven to heat, consider doing step one of the filling prep, which will allow for chill time.)
  2. Press the pistachio shortbread cookie dough firmly along the bottom and sides of a standard sized pie plate.
  3. Bake for 12 minutes.
  4. Remove from the oven and cool.

For the filling and garnish:

  1. Combine the mascarpone, 1/2 cup of the heavy whipping cream, unsweetened almond milk and 2 packages pistachio pudding mix in a large bowl.
  2. Mix well and chill for 15 minutes. (Useful to do this while the crust is baking and cooling)
  3. Meanwhile, combine the remaining 1 cup of heavy whipping cream, 2 tablespoons of  confectioners style powdered erythritol, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl.
  4. Beat with a whisk or electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  5. Fold half of the whipped cream mixture gently into the pistachio mixture.
  6. Spoon the pistachio mixture into cooled pie shell and smooth out evenly.
  7. Pipe or spoon the remaining whipped cream over the top of the pie.
  8. Garnish with chopped pistachios.
  9. Serve immediately, or chill until ready to serve.

Notes

This pie is incredibly rich so a little goes a long way and I kept the serving size at 1/12th of the pie for that reason.  You can obviously eat more, but this is a good starting point for the average person.

Net carbs per serving = 5g.

    This is not Keto friendly. Maltodextrin, the sweetener in the sugar free pudding as twice the glycemic index of table sugar.

      Maltodextrin isn’t a sweetener.

    I’m so excited to make this! What size SF jello pistachio puddings did you use? The smaller ones or the bigger ones? My guess is the smaller ones but I don’t want to mess things up ;) Thanks!

    I personally cannot handle dairy, but I would make this for a party or get together and let everyone know it is low-carb.

    I made this over the weekend. DELICIOUS !!!!! I made a different pie crust using coconut flour, butter & eggs. This pie satisfied my sweet tooth tremendously – a small slice goes a long way. Will keep this recipe !

    Oh my gooooooodness! This was unbelievably delicious.

    Unfortunately our local store did not have SF pistachio pudding, so we replaced it with SF chocolate pudding. We blended the pistachios into essentially a pistachio powder for the crust. This dessert was such a hit with our friends. The marscapone and almond milk made the filling so creamy and made it stand out as particularly extraordinary. Thank you so much for this delicious recipe!

    PS – Kind of a bummer that the jello pudding brand uses aspartame to sweeten their SF pudding, maybe that’ll change in the future.

    What brand of pistachio pudding do you use? I haven’t been able to find any that aren’t made with maltodextrin.

      As I mentioned in the post I used the unhealthy sugar free stuff – jello brand I’m pretty sure and it did contain maltodextrin. I doubt you’ll find one that doesn’t but for me as a treat this was totally worth it and fit my carb budget just fine.

    I couldn’t find sugar free pistachio so I used sf vanilla pudding . Ground up
    Extra pistachios and replaced a bit of the almond flour in the crust with them. Was delicious. I topped it with a semi sweet whipped cream
    And salted roasted pistachios! It was a hit! Thank you! And a little bit definitely goes a long no way I think I got 16 slices out of it.

    Back decades ago, when on WW, I used to make pistachio pie at least twice
    a month. We adored it and I’m 85 years old so as you can see I’m still here.
    I shall lovingly make your pie. I can already taste it’s deliciousness.
    Thank you for all of your hard work. Yes I bought your book and gave it
    to my daughter. (but not until I read it like a book).

    I haven’t made the pistachio pie yet but I will be soon. Do you think it will freeze? I’d love to make several and file them in the freezer for future dinner parties.
