Gimme pistachio anything and I’m a happy girl! But these pistachio cupcakes are a definite winner, and the fluffy frosting made with Cool Whip is barn on one of the best frosting I’ve ever had, I normally make these as a cake, but tried cupcakes this time, and they came out just as good!

These are we perfect dessert for Easter, St. Patrick’s Day, or any spring gathering they are the moistest cupcakes thanks to the addition of putting mix,

and the green frosting gets a little enhanced by some food coloring.

In a large mixing bowl, add one boxed vanilla cake mix and one 3.4 ounce box of instant pistachio pudding mix

Add one cup of vegetable oil

Three whole eggs

And one cup of milk

Mix all the ingredients until thoroughly Inc. and then add up to four drops of green food coloring to the cake mixture, the more you add the greener, it will be

I opted for four and this is the beautiful shade of green I achieved

Lainey cupcake pan with cupcake liners

Fill each liner halfway with cake batter

Bake at 3:50 for 15 to 18 minutes depending on your oven

Well cupcakes are cooling Poirier 3.4 ounce box of instant pistachio pudding mix into a mixing bowl

Add 1/2 cup of milk

Mixed thoroughly

Add 18 ounce tub of thawed Cool Whip to the pudding mixture

And add a few drops of green food coloring, mix in thoroughly

When cupcakes are fully cooled, frost liberally with the Cool Whip frosting, these do need to be refrigerated if not, eating right away, enjoy!
