Tips on Making Oreo Pistachio Pudding Dessert
We listed some quick tips to help you prepare this yummy yet easy Oreo pistachio pudding dessert recipe. Take note of the following so that you can make the most out of those Oreo cookies and pudding mix.
- Whisk the mixture rather than mixing with a wooden spoon. It will make the mixture creamier. Whisking also ensures that the cream stays smooth, fluffy, and there are no clumps remaining.
- Cover with plastic wrap or waxed paper before chilling. Covering it would prevent a thin layer of “pudding skin” from forming on the surface. It’s normal to happen when making puddings or custards. This thin layer of rubbery-like texture is concentrated milk proteins that appear when the water evaporates.
- Avoid stirring after it’s chilled. Stirring can loosen the structure and rich texture of the chilled Oreo pistachio pudding.
- Add toppings. Make the Oreo pistachio dessert even more delicious and tasty with some toppings. Go for a classic whipping cream topping to make an Oreo pistachio pudding cream pie dessert. Then, try adding in some fruits, nuts, or chocolates for a variety of flavors.
