I whipped up this recipe, Coconut Pistachio Delight, because I thought it would look festive for St. Patrick’s Day and I needed to take a dessert to our Church’s Italian Buffet. I had made extra coconut crèam pudding for another recipe. I didn’t have time to bake a cake to make a truffle and then remembered I had purchased 4 pistachio muffins at the store bakery. So this was very easy to create and tasted like homemade! The dessert was a huge hit with people asking for the recipe.
