Notes

  • Sugar - Jello instant pistachio pudding is sugar free. With sweet strawberries, additional sugar is not required. However, a person with a very sweet tooth can add some sugar to chopped berries. Also, when using whipped cream, the sweet level is perfect.
  • Instant mix works well here but you can use a cooked pudding as well.
  • Whipped Cream - If making whipped cream at home, whip it with some sugar.
  • Serving Dish -Arrange dessert in a single serving containers or in a wide serving bowl such as a trifle bowl or any deep dish.
  • Nutritional Facts - Calories mentioned are for 8 oz jars which do not have whipping cream and serves 4.   Calories for 4 oz jars with cream is also similar.  However recipe with cream serves 6.  Also, nutritional information is approximate calculation.
