Instructions
Step 1
Start by combining cream cheese, sugar, eggs, heavy cream (150 grams), pistachio paste, vanilla paste, and cornstarch in a mixing bowl. Use an immersion blender or standard blender to mix until the batter is smooth and homogenous.
Next, pour the cheesecake mixture into a baking pan lined with parchment paper. Make sure it is evenly distributed for consistent baking.
Place the baking pan in a larger pan filled halfway with water to create a water bath, which helps the cheesecake bake evenly without cracking. Bake at 110 degrees Celsius (230 degrees Fahrenheit) for 1 hour.
Step 2
Once baked, allow the cheesecake to cool at room temperature. Then, refrigerate it for 7 to 8 hours to set properly.
Step 3
For the ganache, gently heat heavy cream (80 grams) in a saucepan until warm, but do not bring to a boil. Pour this warm cream over the chopped white chocolate and pistachio paste. Stir until fully melted and combined.
After mixing, let the ganache cool and then refrigerate for another 7 to 8 hours to achieve a thick consistency.
Step 4
After chilling, blend the chilled cheesecake until it is incredibly smooth and creamy. This step is key to achieving a velvety texture similar to a San Sebastián cheesecake.
To prepare the crust, crush the biscuits and combine with melted butter. In a dessert container, spread about 3 to 4 tablespoons of the biscuit mixture. Follow this with one-fourth of the cheesecake mixture, then drizzle with the prepared chocolate ganache.
Step 5
Once assembled, your delicious pistachio cheesecake is ready to impress! Cut into portions and serve chilled. Enjoy this rich and creamy treat with friends and family!

Variations
Looking for alternatives? Here are some exciting gluten-free and vegan variations:
🌱 **Gluten-Free Option:** Use gluten-free cookies for the crust. Swap regular flour for almond flour to maintain that nutty flavor without gluten!
🌿 **Vegan Twist:** Replace cream cheese with a mix of soaked cashews blended with coconut cream. Use flax eggs instead of the regular eggs to keep it completely plant-based. You won’t miss the dairy one bit!
✅ Remember, vegan and gluten-free desserts can be just as delicious with the right ingredients!
Faq
- Q: What should I do if my cheesecake cracks?
A: A low and slow bake will help prevent cracks. Also, be sure to let it cool gradually and avoid sudden temperature changes.
- Q: How can I tell when the cheesecake is done baking?
A: The edges should look set, but the center will still be slightly jiggly. It will firm up as it cools in the fridge.
- Q: Can I use other nut butters instead of pistachio paste?
A: Absolutely! Almond or hazelnut pastes can work beautifully, but be aware that the flavor profile will change.
- Q: Is there a specific way to store leftovers?
A: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Alternatively, you can freeze it for up to 2 months!
- Q: Can I make this cheesecake ahead of time?
A: Yes, this cheesecake actually tastes better if made a day in advance, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
- Q: What's the best method for making a smooth filling?
A: Always blend your filling thoroughly, and if needed, strain it before pouring into the crust to remove any lumps.
