In Honor of St. Patrick’s Day I am bringing you an easy recipe to help you get into the spirit. It can easily be put together in just over 30 minutes.
I used the Sandies Shortbread cookies with Pecans but you can use the options without pecans if you prefer. If Pistachio is not your thing you can use a vanilla, french vanilla, cheesecake or coconut cream flavor and add green food coloring.
This would be a great dessert for your corned beef and cabbage dinner. Remember everyone is Irish on St. Patrick’s Day! 😉
How are you celebrating St. Patrick’s Day?
Are you wearing green today?

These look good and they seem light after corned beef and cabbage. My Nana used to use pistachio pudding mix in a cake she made….this made me think of her. Thank you. 🙂 Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Sláinte!
Thank you. Yes, it is very light and you can make the servings as small or as large as you want.
Mmmm toffee bits are my favorite! This looks delicious and so festive!!! My grandma used to make a cake using pistachio pudding with a cream cheese based pie crust and this sort of reminds me of that. I haven’t had it in forever!
The toffee really adds a nice crunch and flavor. I think it’s time to bust out that recipe!
YUM!!!!!!!! these look amazing.
kayla is wearing a KISS ME I’M IRISH plastic crown. she doesn’t know what that really means because she said: i’m not irish and i don’t want people to kiss me but is it ok that i wear this? LOL
Thanks! haha! I love that she is getting her Green on today. I am Irish but any excuse to be festive and I am all over it!
omg this look amazing! does this mean i’ll be lucky if i make it? 😉
Thank you!! Well it can’t hurt!! 🙂
This looks delicious and sooooooooooooooo cute, too! What a fun themed dish!
Thank you! I really wanted to make something green and pistachio is one of my favorites.

I am trying to work on presentation so thank you!!
Yum, pecan sandies. I love them. Quite a festive dessert!
I’m wearing my green!
Those are one of my favorite cookies! I tend to get a little too into holiday spirit. Oh well!
Wearing my green today!!
Come live with me and feed me this all day.
Haha!! I am not sure they would allow me into Japan! 😉
I love pistachio pudding so I would definitely love this– and you can’t go wrong with how festive it is either! So fun 🙂
Pistachio is one of my favorite puddings! It had to be green! Getting my Irish on!
I love pistachio and toffee so having them together in one bowl of goodness? count me in!
Me too! I really liked the combination. I may have to sneak another taste tonight. 🙂
GREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!
But, sounds amazing! 😉
Haha! It was a really nice treat!
Oh my goodness! This looks soooo yummy! I wish I had all the ingredients to make one right now!
You need to run out and get them. So easy to put together! 🙂
So, I kind of failed in the green department. I always remember St. Pat’s Day because I have a good friend whose birthday is today, but I always forget to wear green! Those look so good! 🙂
Thank you. I have a drawer that is specifically for holiday trinkets. I love being festive. I don’t normally wear green though so I only have one green top. Ha!
um, yum! this looks ridiculously easy and delish. I am not wearing green today – totally forgot, oops!
It is so easy to put together! Oops. That’s okay, but don’t forget to have a drink later! You know, to celebrate! 😉
Oh yum, yes please!!! I think I have most of these ingredients at home!! I might have to make these tonight!
Oh that is great! My vote is yes! 😉
Oh – I wish I would have seen this earlier!! I made a berry trifle to take over to some friends tonight for dinner. This one would have made more sense today!!
Oh bummer! You can always make it another night.
Delicious and easy recipes like this are my favorites! This one would be perfect for a last minute party.
Yes, it is so easy to put together last minute!
These look absolutely delish! You are too cute… So festive!
Thank you. I was totally decked out. I love being festive!
Omg… why did I just read that before breakfast! Looks delicious:)
Haha! Probably not the best time but worth it! 😉
Easy, festive, delicious, I just love this one!
Very easy to make, perfect for last minute guests too. Thank you!
Oooo… I like your idea of doing shortbread without the pecans and using CHEESECAKE pudding! Plus with the toffee bits? MMM!
That does sound like a great combination and now I want it. Haha!
That looks seriously amazing and I love how festive it was!
Thank you. I loved the flavor combination and I had to go green for St. Patty’s Day! 😉
Girl you are awesome at these things!!! But I told you that before. This looks fantastic. And yummy and easy which is a winner!
Thank you. It is really easy to put together, you can manage.
