Pistachio Pudding Fluff (Better Than Nothing)

After unpacking the last box at my new home, I sighed and proclaimed "Finally. I can focus on my blog again!" ....Okay. I probably could've taken photos while I cooked and then hopped on the computer a couple nights a week, but I'm going to use "I needed to settle" as an excuse for why I haven't posted in so long.

Here is an amazingly simple dessert that I'm sure SOME of you have probably heard of. It's actually based on a recipe on Jell-o pudding boxes, though I have heard it called many different names. It's a great last-minute dessert to make an hour or two before a party or other other get-together. I used to make this at least once a month in the past, and I took photos of the assembly process some years ago.

Hey. It's a better post than nothing. ;-)

Tip:  
Folding ingredients causes air pockets in the mixture, which is what makes this dessert so light and fluffy. Here's a little video on how to fold ingredients, for those who don't know:
