Pistachio Cheesecake is the best cheesecake mousse recipe, with ground pistachios in the crust. Amazing holidays and festive dessert bursting with pistachio flavor to impress everyone!

 

 

How to make pistachio cheesecake recipe?

For me, the easiest is to divide the whole process in two phases:

1. make a sponge cake and pistachio cheesecake filling, one day ( it was Friday for me ), and
2. chocolate ganache and loosening the tin the other day ( morning ) so I was ready to serve this pistachio cheesecake in the afternoon, refridgerated and garnished properly.

Adding food color to your cake batter is optional. It depends on the quality of your pistachio seeds. So is the taste. Intense flavours and color come from higher quality pistachios.

How is this Pistachio Cheesecake different from classic cream cheese cheesecake?

There is no graham cracker crust on the bottom. Instead, you make tasty sponge and half it to have one part for the bottom and the other for the top.

Also, you don’t bake cheesecake in water bath. However, you gently boil cheesecake filling. At least, it is the first step of the process to make a mousse recipe; necessary one since you need to thermally process the eggs. It is important to do so since you don’t bake the whole pistachio cheesecake. You just make the layers to cool overnight once your cake sponge is done.

 

Shelled, roasted, unsalted pistachios are my choice. Always. Their price is somewhat higher but if you compare the weight and price, there is only a slight difference. For more about the types, sizes and prices, look here .

 

 

What I love the most about this 7 inches spring form pan cake is sugar low dessert once all the stages are finished. That way, you experience nice pistachio flavour at first and white chocolate sweetness follows.

How does pistachio taste like?

An unsalted pistachio is smooth in texture and finishes with a slightly sweet flavor. The pistachio is also encased a thin edible wrapper that gives the seed an earthy flavor. When the seed is young and green it is slightly soft and less sweet but as it matures it becomes harder and sweeter. To learn more about pistachios, look here .

Can I refrigerate my cheesecake immediately after baking?

The answer is, unfortunately, no. It is not recommended to place a warm cheesecake immediately into the refrigerator. After baking, it should be let to cool to room temperature before putting it in the refrigerator to keep it fresh longer. For more interesting cheesecake details, go here .
