Ingredients

Scale

Bread Batter

  • 1 1/2 Cups All Purpose Flour
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 1/2 Cup Unsalted Butter, softened
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 3/4 Cup White Sugar
  • 2/3 Cup 2% Milk
  • 1 Package (3.4 oz) 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 with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine 3/4 cup white sugar, 2 large eggs, and 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter. Beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Add Pudding Mix and Liquids: To the wet mixture, add 2/3 cup 2% milk, 1 package of Jell-O pistachio pudding mix, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  4. Incorporate Flour: Gradually add 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour to the wet ingredients, folding gently until all flour is absorbed and the batter is smooth without lumps.
  5. Pour Batter and Bake: Pour the prepared batter into the greased loaf pan, spreading evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
  6. Cool the Bread: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before icing.
  7. Prepare Icing: In a small bowl, mix 1 cup icing sugar with 2 tablespoons 2% milk until smooth and pourable.
  8. Glaze and Garnish: Drizzle the icing over the cooled pistachio bread and sprinkle 1/4 cup chopped pistachios on top for added crunch and flavor.
  9. Serve and Enjoy: Slice the bread and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Notes

  • Ensure butter is softened at room temperature for easier mixing.
  • Using 2% milk delivers a balance between moisture and richness; whole milk can be used for a richer taste.
  • Allow the bread to cool fully before glazing to prevent the icing from melting off.
  • For a nut-free version, omit pistachios and use white chocolate chips or dried fruit instead.
  • To store, wrap the bread tightly or keep in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
