Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 1 1/2 Cups All Purpose Flour
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 1/2 Cup Unsalted Butter
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 3/4 Cup White Sugar
  • 2/3 Cup 2% Milk
  • 1 Package Jell-O Pistachio Pudding Mix

Topping

  • 1 Cup Icing Sugar
  • 2 Tbsp 2% Milk
  • 1/4 Cup Chopped Pistachios

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 1.5-quart loaf pan, ideally a Pyrex glass dish, to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine 3/4 cup white sugar, 2 large eggs, and 1/2 cup unsalted butter. Mix thoroughly until well combined and creamy.
  3. Add Pudding and Dry Ingredients: Stir in 2/3 cup 2% milk, 1 package of Jell-O pistachio pudding mix, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Mix until smooth and consistent.
  4. Incorporate Flour: Slowly add 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour to the wet ingredients. Fold gently to combine without overmixing until no visible flour lumps remain.
  5. Pour & Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool & Glaze: Let the bread cool completely before mixing 1 cup icing sugar with 2 tablespoons 2% milk to make a glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled loaf and sprinkle the top with 1/4 cup chopped pistachios.
  7. Serve: Slice and enjoy your pistachio pudding bread as a delightful snack or dessert.

Notes

  • Ensure the bread is fully cooled before applying the glaze to prevent it from melting too much.
  • You can substitute 2% milk with whole milk for a richer flavor or plant-based milk to make it dairy-free.
  • Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • For added texture, consider folding extra chopped pistachios into the batter before baking.
  • If you prefer a less sweet glaze, reduce the icing sugar quantity accordingly.
