Ingredients
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup melted butter
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup white chocolate, melted
1/2 cup pistachios, finely chopped
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C) and grease a cheesecake pan.
-
In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix well, then press the mixture into the bottom of the pan to form the crust.
-
In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
-
Add melted white chocolate, chopped pistachios, and eggs. Mix until well incorporated.
-
Pour the cheesecake mixture over the crust and smooth the top.
-
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set and slightly golden on top.
-
Remove from the oven and let cool. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
Notes
-
If you prefer a nut-free version, substitute pistachios with almonds, walnuts, or pecans.
-
For a chocolate twist, swirl in dark or milk chocolate before baking.
-
You can swap the graham cracker crust with a crushed Oreo, digestive, or shortbread cookie crust.
