You all have to add this recipe to your summer list! It's so easy to make and requires minimal ingredients. Of course, I am not the originator of this recipe.
This recipe has been around for a while, but I loved it and had to share it on the blog. I did put a little of my own spin on the recipe and added marshmallow creme.
Marshmallow creme is a little thick so it added a little more texture and flavor to the recipe. You will also need pistachio pudding and pie filling, crushed pineapple, cool whip, mini marshmallows, and chopped walnuts.
It's hard to explain the flavor of the pistachio pudding, but I don't even like pistachios and still love it in this recipe! So let's get into it, so I can show you how its done!
