- Avoid Sogginess: Ensure ladyfingers are in a single layer without gaps to maintain texture.
- Chill for Best Results: Refrigerating overnight enhances flavor and makes slicing easier.
- Crush Heath Bars Efficiently: Place Heath bars in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin for even pieces.
- Keep Cold: Serve directly from the fridge, as the whipped topping softens at room temperature.
Optional Variations
- Nutty Twist: Swap pistachio pudding for vanilla or butterscotch pudding for a different flavor profile.
- Chocolate Crunch: Replace Heath bars with crushed Oreos or chocolate shavings for a chocolatey finish.
- Fruit Layer: Add a layer of sliced strawberries or bananas between the pudding and whipped topping for a fresh contrast.
- Gluten-Free Option: Use gluten-free ladyfingers or sponge cake to accommodate dietary needs.
Ingredients
Directions
- Prepare Pudding: In a large bowl, whisk the pistachio pudding mix with 3 cups cold milk for 2 minutes until thickened. Let sit for 5 minutes.
- Layer Base: Arrange half the ladyfingers in a single layer in a 9×13-inch glass baking dish , breaking pieces as needed to fit.
- Add First Layers: Spread half the pistachio pudding evenly over the ladyfingers, then top with half the whipped topping.
- Repeat Layers: Place the remaining ladyfingers over the whipped topping. Spread the remaining pudding, followed by the rest of the whipped topping.
- Top with Crunch: Sprinkle the crushed Heath bars evenly over the top. Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set and soften the ladyfingers. Serve: Slice or scoop and serve chilled.
