Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup crushed unsalted pistachios
  • 16 oz (2 packages) full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream (room temperature)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter and graham cracker crumbs. Press mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan.
  2. In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar and mix until creamy. Add sour cream, eggs, and vanilla; mix until combined.
  3. Fold in crushed pistachios gently into the batter to avoid overmixing.
  4. Pour batter over the crust in the springform pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes until edges are set but center remains slightly wobbly.
  5. Allow cheesecake to cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  6. Whip heavy cream until soft peaks form and spread over chilled cheesecake. Garnish with extra crushed pistachios before serving.

Nutrition

Keywords: For added flavor, consider incorporating lemon zest or swapping pistachios for almonds or walnuts. Ensure cream cheese is fully softened before mixing for a smoother texture. Chill the cheesecake overnight for optimal flavor enhancement.
