Indulge in a decadent chocolate-crusted vanilla cheesecake topped with pistachios for a sophisticated dessert that's sure to impress.
Ingredients:
  • 2 1/2 cups finely crushed chocolate wafer cookies (about 40)
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped roasted shelled pistachio nuts
  • 2 tablespoons honey or packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 3 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated)
  • 2 teaspoons grated orange peel
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 4 eggs
  • 3 tablespoons chopped roasted shelled pistachio nuts
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 300°F and generously spray a 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray. Combine all crust ingredients in a medium bowl, then press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the baking dish. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to blend cream cheese until smooth. Slowly mix in condensed milk, orange peel, almond extract, and vanilla until combined. Add eggs one at a time, mixing until just blended. Pour mixture over crust and top with 3 tablespoons of chopped pistachios.
  • Bake for 35 to 45 minutes until the center is set. Allow to cool in the pan on a wire rack for 1 hour. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving. Cut into 8 squares and then cut each square in half diagonally.
