How to make Easy Pistachio Cream PieWhat is Pistachio Cream Pie?

Because this Cool Whip Pie recipe uses both whipped topping and cream cheese, this recipe is a cross between cheesecakes and cream pies. It’s light, fluffy, and still a little rich, giving you the perfect combination that has you coming back for more.

Yes you can freeze this cream pie, just make sure to keep it well covered in the freezer for up to two months. To thaw simply place it in the fridge overnight or let it sit on the counter for a few hours to come to room temp before eating.

Can I Use a Different Pie Crust?

Absolutely! Many people love their pistachio pie with an Oreo crust because a chocolate pistachio pie tastes incredible. Seriously, they’re a match made in heaven. Even my chocolate pistachio pinwheel cookies would have to agree.

Can This Pistachio Pie Be Made Dairy Free?

Theoretically, it could, but I haven’t tried it. In order to make it dairy free you’d need to double check the pie crust is safe (or simply make your own). Then use a dairy free milk like almond milk, dairy free cream cheese and a vegan whipped topping alternative as well. You may have to use less milk or more whipped topping in the mixture to get it to set up since regular pudding won’t set up with almond or soy milk.

How to make Easy Pistachio Cream PieWhat Are Some Other Topping Ideas?

I think that topping this cream pie with some crushed pistachios and cherries is a great idea but adding in a few chocolate shavings would be amazing too! I’ve seen some folks top their pistachio cream pies with some dole pineapple too, giving it a nice texture and flavor change and making it more like a watergate salad in a pie crust. Honestly, if you think it sounds good, go for it, you never know what cool idea might be the recipe your family requests over and over again.

How to make Easy Pistachio Cream PieCan you use real whipped cream instead of whipped topping?

If you can’t find Cool Whip, which is the brand name of whipped topping where you live or you prefer not to use it in recipes, you can use stabilized whipped cream instead. If you just use regular whipped cream, the consistency will be too light and the cream will not hold up very well after a while on the cake. It’s very simple to make your own stabilized whipped cream and it just takes a few minutes!

Best Ever Easy Pistachio Cream Pie recipeHow do you make stabilized whipped cream?

To make stabilized whipped cream, you will need the following ingredients:

  • 4 ounces of cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream.
  1. Beat the cream cheese with the powdered sugar and vanilla until soft and smooth.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the whipping cream just until soft peaks form.
  3. Add the cream cheese mixture to the whipped cream and beat until stiff peaks are formed. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.

A little tip for making whipped cream faster. Use a metal bowl for whipping the cream and place the bowl in the freezer for about 30 minutes before you make the whipped cream. This will significantly decrease the amount of time that you will need to beat the whipped cream – the process will go much faster!
