Pistachio Cheesecake Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Crust:

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/3 cup melted unsalted butter
1/4 cup granulated sugar
For the Filling:

4 packages (32 ounces) of cream cheese, softened
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup shelled pistachios, finely chopped
For the Pistachio Paste:

1 cup shelled pistachios, unsalted
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
For Topping:

Whipped cream
Chopped pistachios for garnish
Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

2. Prepare the Crust:
Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar in a bowl. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then allow it to cool.

3. Make the Pistachio Paste:
Blend pistachios, powdered sugar, and vegetable oil in a food processor until it forms a smooth paste. Set aside.

4. Prepare the Filling:
In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and beat until well combined. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in sour cream and vanilla extract. Finally, fold in the chopped pistachios and the prepared pistachio paste.

5. Assemble and Bake:
Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula. Tap the pan gently on the counter to release any air bubbles. Bake in the oven for about 55-60 minutes or until the center is set.

6. Cool and Refrigerate:
Allow the cheesecake to cool in the oven with the door ajar for about an hour. Then, transfer it to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.

7. Garnish and Serve:
Before serving, spread a layer of whipped cream on the chilled cheesecake and sprinkle with chopped pistachios. Run a knife around the edges of the pan before releasing the sides of the springform. Slice and enjoy your delicious pistachio cheesecake!

This delightful pistachio cheesecake will impress with its rich and nutty flavor.
