So this weekend Piper started to refer to my dad by name for the first time. I mean, in the best way she can in her almost two broken English. It came out as
Bop-A
I died. It was just about the cutest thing ever. Which, to her credit, was pretty amazing timing. She is still stuck in the phase of constant screaming. She really needed a win so as to not be sold to the circus.
The best part was once she figured it out, she just kept saying it over and over and over at maximum volume possible.
Piper: BOP-A! BOP-A! BOP-A! BOP-A! BOP-A!
My dad: Yes, Piper?
Piper: Hi.
My dad: Hi.
**2.3 seconds of silence**
Piper: BOP-A!!!
Seriously, so awesome.
HOW TO MAKE PISTACHIO CHEESECAKE DIP
So should we talk about this dip? You guys, it is BEYOND easy. And it was one of those where I tasted it to make sure it was delicious. And then I just . . . kept . . . tasting it. And did I mention easy? This is just pudding, cream cheese, and Cool Whip. Think of the endless possibilities! I went with pistachio, and it is seriously amazing.
RECIPE NOTES FOR PISTACHIO CHEESECAKE DIP
- You really HAVE to have the cream cheese at room temperature. It will be really hard to mix up if it’s not. I like to leave mine out for about an hour or two cut up.
- If you must, this recipe works with Lite Cool Whip, but it works a whole lot better with the non-Lite version.

We add a can of drained crushed pineapple & a bowl & spoon! Grown kids fight over who gets the last of it at family get togethers. It ALWAYS has to be on the menu!
Deanna says
Is it ok to make the night before?
This should be fine the night before!
Monika says
What kind of cookies did you find to be the best with this dip??
I love it with animal crackers, but Nilla wafers would would be good too!
Amy says
Fooey. I made this last night for a work party and I felt like it didn’t have much of a pistachio flavor. Basically I only tasted the cream cheese. Hardly anyone ate it :-(
I’m really sorry you didn’t like it Amy.
Kim says
Can you use sugar free pudding mix for a lower carb product?
Hi Kim! I haven’t tried that but I’m sure it would be fine.
Linda says
I always use fruit. Most always strawberries. Love it.
Carol says
I don’t use cool whip but how much cups of whipping cream would i use?
I would recommend replacing the cool whip with my Stabilized Whipped Cream recipe. Whipped cream won’t really hold up with this recipe.
