  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for extra flavor)

For the Filling:

  • 1 box (3.4 oz) instant pistachio or vanilla pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk
  • Green food coloring (if using vanilla pudding)

For the Topping:

  • 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping (Cool Whip)

  2. Poke & Fill:

    • Once the cake is baked, let it cool for 5 minutes.

    • In a bowl, whisk together pudding mix and cold milk until smooth. Add green food coloring if needed.
