Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter Provides richness and moisture; substitute with coconut oil for a dairy-free version.
  • 2 large Large Eggs Binds the ingredients together; flax eggs can be used for a vegan option.

For Flavor
  • 1 package Pistachio Instant Pudding Mix Imparts rich, nutty flavor; other flavors can be tried for variations.
