Happy St Patrick’s Day!

This is a simple dessert my husband loves.

Ingredients for Crust:

  • ½ almond flour
  • ¼ cup earth balance, cold (or butter)
  • ¼ cup pecans, finely chopped

Ingredients for Cream Cheese Layer:

  • 8 oz block low-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup light sour cream
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 ½ tsp vanilla
  • a pinch of salt

Ingredients for Pudding Layer:

  • 1 box instant pistachio pudding
  • 1½ milk
  • ½ cup shredded coconut, unsweetened

Ingredients for Top Layer:

  • 1 cup light sour cream
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 ½ tsp vanilla
  • a pinch of salt
  • ½ to ¼ cup of pecans

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, earth balance and pecans until it forms crumbly dough. Press the dough into the bottom of an 8×8-baking pan and bake for 10 minutes until golden brown. Let crust cool completely on a cooling rack.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, powdered sugar, vanilla and salt with a hand mixer. Whip until fully combined and spread over the cooled crust.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine pudding mix and milk until pudding thickens. Then fold in coconut and spread over the cream cheese layer.
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine sour cream, powdered sugar, vanilla and salt. Drizzle over the pudding layer and top with additional pecans.
  6. Refrigerate for several hours until firm.
  7. Enjoy!
