To make the Pudding: In a medium sized bowl, add the pistachio instant pudding and the milk and mix well, either with an electric mixer or a whisk. Mix for about a minute and refrigerate until firm. It may seem liquidy, but I liked to have it be a bit thinner than a regular pudding for this dessert.

To assemble the Trifle: Cut the cake into bite sized pieces and layer in the bottom of a large glass or other see-through bowl. Pour half of the pudding ontop of the cake pieces and smooth and even the top. Add the kiwi slices in even rows on top of the pudding. Pour about 1/2 of the tub of Cool Whip and smooth out on top. Sprinkle the Cool Whip with green colored sugar sprinkles.

Repeat the process another time, the cake, pudding, kiwi slices, and cool whip. Sprinkle the colored sugar evenly and festively on top of the cool whip. Chill for at least 30 minutes to set and serve within 2 days.
