For the Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Filling:
- 1 package (3.4 oz) instant pistachio pudding mix
- 1 1/2 cups cold milk
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping, divided

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined.
- Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Bake for 8 minutes, then remove and allow to cool completely.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in half of the whipped topping until well incorporated.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled graham cracker crust, creating a smooth layer.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together pistachio pudding mix and cold milk. Beat for approximately 2 minutes until the mixture thickens and becomes smooth.
- Carefully spread the pistachio pudding layer over the cream cheese mixture.
- Top with the remaining whipped topping, spreading it evenly to cover the entire surface.
- Sprinkle chopped pistachios over the top for added crunch and visual appeal.
