Ingredients

Scale

Bread Batter

  • 1 1/2 Cups All Purpose Flour
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 1/2 Cup Unsalted Butter
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 3/4 Cup White Sugar
  • 2/3 Cup 2% Milk
  • 1 Package Jell-O Pistachio Pudding Mix

Topping

  • 1/4 Cup Chopped Pistachios
  • 1 Cup Icing Sugar
  • 2 Tbsp 2% Milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 1.5-quart loaf pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the white sugar, eggs, and unsalted butter. Mix them well until the mixture is smooth and slightly creamy.
  3. Add Pudding Mix and Dry Ingredients: Stir in the 2% milk, pistachio pudding mix, baking powder, and salt. Mix again until everything is incorporated evenly.
  4. Incorporate Flour: Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the mixture, folding gently until no flour lumps remain and the batter is smooth.
  5. Pour Batter and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Prepare the Icing: While the bread cools, mix the icing sugar and 2 tablespoons of 2% milk to form a smooth glaze.
  7. Cool and Glaze: Once the bread has cooled slightly, drizzle the icing over the top and sprinkle with chopped pistachios.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Let the glaze set a few minutes, then slice and serve your delicious pistachio pudding bread.

Notes

  • Ensure the butter is softened to room temperature for better mixing.
  • If you prefer a stronger pistachio flavor, add extra chopped pistachios into the batter.
  • The bread can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
  • Use a toothpick test to avoid overbaking and maintain moistness.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute milk and butter with plant-based alternatives.
