I don't know about your house but around here, as soon as March 1st rolls around - everything starts to turn green. 
The pancakes - the bread - the eggs - and especially the dessert.

I've already made my green velvet cupcakes and my cherry limeade cupcakes but I have a few more green surprises up my sleeve for later this month.  (Shamrock shake cupcakes, anyone?)  My newest addition to my green cupcake collection are these super delicious pistachio cupcakes. 

You're going to want to make these all year - trust me - don't limit yourself to making them only once a year just because they're green.  Go green all year - that's what I say!

While cupcakes cool, chop a few fresh pistachios for garnish.

Once the cupcakes have cooled completely, frost with cream cheese icing and sprinkle with chopped pistachios.

I am in love with these pistachio cupcakes.  They are super moist and really flavorful.  No need to add any extra color, the pudding adds just the right amount of color to make them perfectly green.  I hope that you enjoy these as much as I do.  (ooops, I mean - did.)

Ciao!

Nice will love to try. What other substitute do you have for pistachio pudding mix if I can't find in my country. Thanks

Abiola - You could substitute any flavor of instant pudding that is available to you. Add some nuts that compliment the flavor and you've got yourself a delicious cupcake creation.

Hi. I just wanted to thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe. I frosted the cupcakes with a basic french buttercream and they tasted so amazing. Thanks!
