Pistachio Cheesecake is a rich and creamy dessert infused with the nutty flavor of pistachios, perfect for a luxurious treat or special occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 24 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup pistachio paste
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup chopped pistachios (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and wrap the outside with foil to prevent leaks.
  2. In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan to form a crust. Bake for 10 minutes and let cool.
  3. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add 1 cup sugar and beat until fluffy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  5. Mix in sour cream, pistachio paste, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  6. Pour the batter over the cooled crust and smooth the top.
  7. Place the springform pan into a larger roasting pan and fill the outer pan with hot water halfway up the sides (water bath).
  8. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until the center is just set and slightly wobbly.
  9. Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool for 1 hour inside the oven.
  10. Remove, cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  11. Top with chopped pistachios before serving.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients to ensure a smooth batter.
  • Water bath baking helps prevent cracks on the cheesecake surface.
  • For extra flavor, drizzle with pistachio syrup or white chocolate ganache.
