Ingredients
To make this delicious Italian pistachio cheesecake, you will need the following ingredients:
1 1/2 cups of crushed graham crackers
1/4 cup of melted butter
3 (8-ounce) packages of cream cheese, softened
1 cup of granulated sugar
3 eggs
1 cup of sour cream
1/4 cup of heavy cream
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 cup of shelled pistachios, chopped
Crust
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare a 9-inch springform pan by greasing the bottom and sides. In a small bowl, mix together the crushed graham crackers and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan, evenly spreading it out. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool while you prepare the filling.
Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth. Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Next, mix in the sour cream, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until everything is well combined. Fold in the chopped pistachios, reserving some for topping.
Baking
Pour the filling over the cooled crust and smooth out the top with a spatula. Sprinkle the remaining chopped pistachios on top. Place the cheesecake in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in for an additional 10 minutes, then remove and let it cool completely before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Tip: To prevent cracking, place a pan of water on the bottom rack of the oven while baking the cheesecake.
Serving
Once chilled, remove the cheesecake from the pan and place it on a serving plate. Cut into slices and serve with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of crushed pistachios on top for an extra touch of indulgence.
Enjoy this delicious and decadent Italian pistachio cheesecake with your loved ones. It's the perfect dessert to impress and indulge in, and will surely become a favorite in your household.
