  • 480 g full-fat cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 100 g sour cream
  • 5 ml vanilla extract
  • 60 ml heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, finely ground pistachios, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan to form the crust.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add sour cream, vanilla extract, heavy cream, kosher salt, and granulated sugar, mixing until well combined.
  4. Add the gently beaten eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in pistachio paste and sifted cornstarch until fully incorporated.
  5. Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust and smooth the top.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
  7. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door ajar for about 1 hour.
  8. Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  9. For the topping, melt the white chocolate with heavy cream in a double boiler until smooth. Stir in chopped pistachios and pistachio paste.
  10. Spread the pistachio topping over the chilled cheesecake before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for best results.
  • For a firmer cheesecake, bake a little longer.
  • Garnish with additional chopped pistachios if desired.
