I’ve made this Pistachio Shortbread Dessert for years, but this time I changed the base of my crust. Â I decided to go easy and use shortbread cookies in place of the traditional flour crust. Â This made for a little more crumbly and flavorful crust which I loved.
Pistachio Shortbread as a Present
My daughter always asks for this pistachio dessert for her birthday because she loves it so much. Â I have to say, this is another one of those desserts that you have to be careful with because you will want more than one piece!

These look wonderful! Very tempting
I’d loooooooooove to try them, but unfortunately we don’t have here pistachio pudding.
You can make this with chocolate or banana pudding too and is just as delcious. We all love pistachio in our home though.
OMG can you hear me drooling? Where’s my napkin? 🙂

I have this recipe and it’s one of the most popular that I posted on my blog! Love the idea of using shortbread in the crust!
Pistachio and shortbread in the same title??? I think I’m in love! Thank you for sharing this at Foodie Friends Friday. And now I’m on my way to pin it.
My mom has been making this for 30 years, she calls it Three Layer Delight. She always used graham cracker crust, but your shortbread cookie crust sounds divine!!
Had a bit of a struggle with the cream cheese whip topping powder sugar spread..kept sticking and messing up the bottom layer…how smooth should the spread be..?…overall it was awesome..I crushed up some Nilla wafers and sprinkled on top….mmmmm so 😋 yummylicious.
I made it today and had the same problem. Not sure if I should bring it to a Christmas Eve party tonight.
