Pistachio Lush {Foodie Friday}

Growing up my mom made a dessert called Pistachio Delight. That sounds so 80s to me now, but it was so good.
It was very similar to this but it was made with Twinkies between the layers. Can’t go wrong with Twinkies, right? It was one of my dad’s favorite desserts. This is a new take on that dessert--Light and creamy, but full of flavor. I won’t lie, pretty sure I ate 3 pieces. My dad is lucky he even got a piece, ha! If you are not a pistachio fan, this can be made using any flavor of pudding. We just love pistachio! I recently made a chocolate version that is to die for...recipe coming soon!
