Step 1

Prepare the Vanilla Milk

To start making the cheesecake filling, pour the double cream into a saucepan. Add the vanilla bean and stir well to combine. This will infuse the cream with delightful vanilla flavor.

Step 2

Make the Crust

In a separate bowl, combine the crushed tea biscuits, ground pistachios, and melted butter. Mix until fully combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan and level it out to create an even crust.

Step 3

Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and sugar until well blended. Next, pour in the vanilla milk mixture, making sure to remove the vanilla bean pod. Add the first egg and mix until smooth, followed by the addition of the second egg.

Step 4

Bake the Cheesecake

Pour the cheesecake mixture over the prepared crust evenly. Preheat your oven to 150°C (about 300°F) and bake the cheesecake for 40 to 50 minutes. Once done, allow it to cool, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours to set. For an added touch, cover the cheesecake with a pistachio spread before serving.
