Easy No-Bake Pistachio Cheesecake

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Chill Time: 4 hours

Servings: 8-10

Ingredients

For the crust:

• 200 g digestive or graham crackers
• 100 g melted butter

For the filling:

• 400 g cream cheese (softened)
• 200 g powdered sugar
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 100 g pistachio paste (or finely ground pistachios)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the topping:

• 50 g crushed pistachios
• 1/4 cup pistachio cream (for drizzling)

Instructions

1. Prepare the crust:

1. Crush the digestive biscuits or graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
2. Mix the crumbs with melted butter until well combined and the mixture resembles wet sand.
3. Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan to form an even crust. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.

2. Prepare the filling:

1. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
2. Gradually add powdered sugar and continue to beat until fully combined and creamy.
3. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
5. Stir in the pistachio paste and vanilla extract until well combined.

3. Assemble the cheesecake:

1. Pour the filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
2. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set. Overnight chilling is recommended for the best texture.

4. Decorate and serve:

1. Before serving, sprinkle the crushed pistachios on top of the cheesecake.
2. Drizzle with pistachio cream for an extra touch of flavor and elegance.
3. Slice and enjoy this easy no-bake pistachio cheesecake!

Extra Tips:

• Pistachio Paste: You can find pistachio paste at specialty stores or online. If you can’t find it, substitute with finely ground pistachios mixed with a little honey.
• Chilling Time: Ensure the cheesecake is well chilled to achieve the perfect texture. Overnight is best.
• Crust Options: For a different twist, try using chocolate cookies or nut-based crusts.
