Pistachio ambrosia pie from Fat + Flour: The Art of a Simple Bake (page 173) by Nicole Rucker

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

  • EatinSnax on May 16, 2025

    A very campy pie that was genuinely enjoyed by all. What’s not to love about green fluffy stuff! The ratio of ingredients is really similar to an old-school ambrosia, but the salted nuts throughout and real whipped cream improve upon the classic. I would combine the ingredients in a different order next time though. Adding the instant pudding to creme fraiche caused it to seize up into a gelatinous mass immediately, which was very difficult to fold in to the whipped cream. Next time, I would try dissolving the pudding mix by adding it to the canned pineapple with 1-2 tbsp of the drained juice (the way Watergate salad is made) before folding everything in.
