Description

Indulge in the perfect balance of creamy pistachio and tangy raspberry in this divine Pistachio Raspberry Crunch Cheesecake. A true crowd-pleasing dessert that combines a buttery graham cracker crust, a rich and velvety pistachio-infused cheesecake filling, and a swirled raspberry topping, all finished with a crunchy pistachio crumble.


Ingredients

– 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

– 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

– 24 ounces (3 packages) cream cheese, softened

– 1 cup granulated sugar

– 1/2 cup sour cream

– 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

– 3 large eggs

– 1 cup shelled pistachios, finely chopped, plus more for garnish

– 1 cup fresh raspberries


Instructions

1. – Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.

2. – In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom and 1 inch up the sides of the prepared pan.

3. – In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with a hand mixer until light and fluffy. Gradually add the sugar and beat until well combined.

4. – Add the sour cream, flour, and vanilla, and mix until smooth. Crack the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

5. – Fold in the 1 cup of chopped pistachios.

6. – Pour the cheesecake batter into the prepared pan. Scatter the fresh raspberries over the top and use a knife to gently swirl them into the batter.

7. – Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until the center is almost set. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in the oven for an additional 1 hour.

8. – Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to 3 days.

9. – When ready to serve, remove the springform ring and garnish the top of the cheesecake with additional chopped pistachios.

Notes

For an extra crunchy topping, sprinkle the chopped pistachios over the top of the cheesecake before baking. The cheesecake can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
