Pistachio Cheesecake

Pistachio Cheesecake 🥜🍰

A creamy, nutty dessert that combines the rich flavor of cream cheese with the delightful crunch of pistachios, perfect for any occasion!

Ingredients:

For the crust:

• 200 g digestive or speculoos biscuits

• 100 g melted butter

For the filling:

• 400 g cream cheese (such as Philadelphia)

• 100 g powdered sugar

• 200 ml heavy cream, well chilled

• 100 g unsalted pistachios (chopped or whole for decoration)

• 1 tbsp vanilla extract

Directions:

Prepare the Crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, crush the biscuits into fine crumbs. Combine the crumbs with melted butter until well mixed. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan to form an even layer. Bake for 10 minutes, then allow to cool.

Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.

Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.

Add the Pistachios: Fold in the chopped pistachios, reserving a few for decoration on top of the cheesecake.

Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until set.

Garnish and Serve: Once set, carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Top with whole pistachios for decoration. Slice and serve chilled, enjoying the creamy, nutty flavors!
