My grandma has been making this sans topping and bringing it to every family gathering for the past 3 years or so. Everyone loves it. My favorite version, that she brings for Thanksgiving and Christmas, is the pumpkin. She substitutes the pistachio pudding with instant pumpkin pudding and adds some pumpkin pie spice. It is delicious!

Oh WOW this was good! I mean really really good! I used chopped almonds instead of walnuts or pecans (didn't toast them) and it gave it a marzipan flavor. I brought it to a family gathering and everyone loved it. I'll be making this many times in the future - thanks!
