Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 cups Graham Cracker Crumbs
  • 0.5 cups Melted Butter
  • 16 ounces Cream Cheese, softened
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 8 ounces White Chocolate
  • 0.75 cups Pistachios, chopped
  • 3 large Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). In a large bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until they resemble wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. Bake the Crust: Place the crust in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes, until it’s lightly golden. Allow it to cool.
  3. Cream the Cheese: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
  4. Sweeten Up: Gradually add the powdered sugar to the cream cheese, mixing until well combined and fluffy.
  5. Melt the Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate over a double boiler or in a microwave, then cool slightly before adding to the cream cheese mixture.
  6. Mix in the Eggs: Add the eggs, one at a time, blending well after each addition.
  7. Add Flavor Boosts: Pour in the heavy cream and vanilla extract, stirring until uniformly blended.
  8. Fold in the Pistachios: Gently fold in chopped pistachios until evenly distributed.
  9. Combine and Bake: Pour the filling into the cooled crust, smoothing the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes, until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly.
  10. Cool Down: After baking, turn off the oven and crack the door to cool for an hour. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Notes

Serve chilled, topped with melted white chocolate or chopped pistachios. Pairs well with berries or ice cream.
