    These St. Patrick's Day Pistachio Mousse Cups are quick, easy and the perfect little green treat to share with all the little leprechauns in your life!

    St Patricks Day Pistachio Mousse Cups are desserts layered with crushed graham crackers, pistachio mousse and whipped cream in tiny glass cups for a cute presentation!

    I may have just made the easiest dessert on the face of the planet. It's quick, simple and it's cute! Plus it only took a few minutes to whip up.

    I know it's super impressive right. Pfft!

    These were born out of sheer necessity. I wanted to do a St. Patrick's Day post then proceeded to get the flu. I had planned to make something else, but after not having been to the grocery store in 10 days the pantry had slim pickings. I still wasn't ready to go shopping at the time I needed to get the photo ready so I had to get creative, and quick. So, this is what happens when I have the flu but I still want snackies in the house for the family.

    Cute, fun, easy, and green for St. Patrick's Day. You're welcome.

    I am so thankful the flu is over and I'm back in the kitchen. Super excited to share normal recipes with you again. Yah for being healthy again. Bring on the baking!! That makes total sense in blogger speak, trust me.

    Servings 4 small dishes

    Ingredients

    Fpr the Base:

    • 1 cup graham crumbs
    • 3 tablespoons butter melted

    For the Mousse:

    • 1 cup milk

    Instructions

    For the Base:

    For the Topping:

    • Put you whipping cream in a piping bag and pipe over top of the mousse.
    • Top with pistachios if desired.
    • Place in the fridge for about 2 to 4 hours to chill well.

      So happy to hear you are feeling better Kim! You know that buttered graham crackers are my eternal weakness right?

        Thanks Susan. It's been an uphill battle. I think it's got my body all messed up. I can't seem to bounce back. Going to talk to my doc about a B12 shot this week. Hopefully it helps.

        Me too. We were like separated at birth or something.

      I can't take it anymore! I must have those cute little dotted spoons. This mousse looks amazing. I hope you're feeling better.

        Ha, aren't they adorbs. I was so shocked they shipped to Canada. I had Lizzy at the ready just in case they wouldn't. She graciously offered to be my plan B.

        You know, the flu is gone but I'm so tired. I'll see if I'm just needing some B12. Hopefully that fixes me up. Just dragging my butt this week. So weird. I'm usually a complete spaz when it comes to energy.

      These are so cute! Sometimes simple is definitely best--we all need quick desserts we can keep in our back pocket in case of emergencies (or the flu!) I hope you're fully recovered!

        Thank you so much Diane. I am chomping at the bit to try your pistachio cut out cookies. I love that you adore pistachios as much as I do. Makes me seriously happy.

        I am totally trying out your cherry pie cookies soon too. I've had them bookmarked and just waiting for the right time to whip them up. I love cherry as much as I love pistachio. I want to do a whole week dedicated to what you can make with cherry pie filling. I'm a girl on a mission to convince people cherries are wonderful.

      Instant pistachio pudding is one of my guilty pleasures. So glad I can have mousse cups in little time!

        Me too. I just love it. Really good in ice cream mixes as well. Gives the pistachio taste without a whole lot of effort.
