Mixing bowls
Electric mixer
Spatula
9-inch springform pan
Saucepan
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 0.25 cup melted butter
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup chopped pistachios (optional, for extra crunch)
- 3 packages softened cream cheese
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup pistachio paste or finely ground pistachios
- 1 pinch of salt
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
In a medium bowl, mix together graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar, and chopped pistachios (if using).
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan and bake for about 10 minutes until golden brown.
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until warm, then stir in the white chocolate chips until melted.
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until fluffy, then mix in the pistachio paste, vanilla extract, and pinch of salt.
Slowly incorporate the melted white chocolate mixture into the cream cheese mixture.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing gently to avoid air bubbles.
Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust and tap the pan gently to release air bubbles.
Bake for 55-65 minutes, until the center is set but still jiggles slightly.
Turn off the oven, leave the door ajar, and let the cheesecake cool inside for an hour.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Before serving, garnish with chopped pistachios and white chocolate shavings.
This cheesecake is a crowd-pleaser, celebrated for its rich flavor and creamy texture. Perfect for special occasions!
