Pistachio Fluff! A great take on the 1970’s dessert, Watergate Salad. The quickest and easiest recipe ever!
This Pistachio Fluff of Peggy’s is full of tasty treats! This dessert is a blast from the 1970’s, and you may remember it as Watergate Salad.
Inside the filling you will find all kinds of goodies! It’s a very quick and simple dessert to make, and you can have it prepared ahead of time and keep chilled until you’re ready to serve. This is a great dessert for parties and Thanksgiving or Christmas time. Simply make ahead and keep chilled in a nice big party bowl and serve when you’re ready. Most of the ingredients you can buy ahead and keep in your store cupboard so it’s very convenient indeed.
The flavors and textures of Peggy’s Pistachio Fluff are wonderful! You get a nice bite from the pineapple and crunch from the pistachio nuts, then a gooey chewy texture from the marshmallows together with a delicious flavor of coconut and all teh other goodies in this. It’s a great crowd pleaser and so easy to make.
Really refreshing flavours and a wonderful pretty colour too!
