Ingredients
Scale
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup shelled pistachios, finely chopped
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tsp lime zest
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 (8 oz) container whipped topping, thawed
1 (21 oz) can cherry pie filling
Chopped pistachios (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, chopped pistachios, and melted butter. Mix until combined and press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill for 15 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth.
Add sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, lime juice, lemon zest, lime zest, and vanilla extract. Beat until well blended and creamy.
Fold in the whipped topping until smooth and fluffy.
Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust and spread evenly.
Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
Before serving, top with cherry pie filling and sprinkle with chopped pistachios if desired.
Release the springform pan and slice to serve chilled.
Notes
Make sure cream cheese is softened for a smoother filling.
Chill the cheesecake thoroughly to ensure proper setting.
Use key lime juice for a more intense citrus flavor, if available.
This dessert is best served cold and can be made a day in advance.
