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:
- 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.
- Mix the crumbs with melted butter until well combined and the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan to form an even crust. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
2. Prepare the filling:
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
- Gradually add powdered sugar and continue to beat until fully combined and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
- Stir in the pistachio paste and vanilla extract until well combined.
3. Assemble the cheesecake:
- Pour the filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set. Overnight chilling is recommended for the best texture.
4. Decorate and serve:
- Before serving, sprinkle the crushed pistachios on top of the cheesecake.
- Drizzle with pistachio cream for an extra touch of flavor and elegance.
- 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.
