The pistachio pudding is a delicious spoon dessert! The recipe is a reinterpretation of Nutella pudding, but on the blog, you will also find condensed milk and caramel pudding and bread pudding, the latter is not to be missed! The pistachio cream version is really easy, ideal if you have guests over for lunch, because you can prepare it the day before, and if you prefer, you can make it in single servings. The Pudding is a truly delicious Italian dessert; it is similar to cream but with a denser consistency, it is without gelatin and without eggs. It can be served with whipped cream and chopped pistachios to make it even more appetizing.
