Equipment

  • 9-inch springform pan
  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Hand mixer
  • Measuring Cups
  • Food processor
  • Rubber spatula
  • Offset spatula.
  • Small saucepan

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup PISTACHIO PASTE
  • 16 oz CREAM CHEESE
  • 1 1/2 cups HEAVY CREAM
  • 1 1/2 cups GRAHAM CRACKER CRUMBS
  • 1/2 cup UNSALTED BUTTER
  • 3/4 cup POWDERED SUGAR
  • 1 tsp VANILLA EXTRACT
  • 1/4 cup ROASTED PISTACHIOS

Instructions
 

Prep the Crust

  • Crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs in your food processor. Mix them with the melted butter in your springform pan. Press the sandy mix down until the bottom is very flat and firm.

Chill the Base

  • Place the pan in the fridge while you make the green filling. This helps the butter get cold and the crust stay very crunchy. This provides the signature no-bake firm and solid profile.

Whip the Cream

  • Pour the heavy cream into a cold bowl and whisk it hard. It should have very stiff peaks that do not fall over. This ensures the cheesecake stays light and very airy later.

Smooth the Cheese

  • Beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar in a second bowl. Add the pistachio paste and vanilla extract for a very nutty aroma. Your kitchen will smell like a savory bakery very soon.

Fold the Mix

  • Stir the whipped cream into the green cheese mixture slowly. Fold it gently with a rubber spatula so you do not lose the air. The color should look very even and a soft lime green.

Set and Garnish

  • Pour the filling over the crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Place it in the fridge for six hours total time to set. Top with crushed pistachios before you serve it cold.

Notes

➜ Use a high-quality pistachio paste for the best green color.
➜ Whip the heavy cream very well for the most stable results.
➜ Do not use low-fat cream cheese or the cake will be runny.
➜ Use roasted nuts for a much more savory and nutty crunch.
➜ Let the cake chill for hours to get the best texture.
➜ Run a warm knife around the edge for a much cleaner slice.
