Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 1 cup Graham Cracker Crumbs Provides structure and sweetness; crushed Oreos can be a tasty substitute.

  • 3/4 cup Powdered Sugar Adds sweetness and helps create a smooth consistency.
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Contributes to the luxurious mouthfeel of the cheesecake.
  • 8 ounces White Chocolate (melted) Enhances flavor; can be swapped for milk or dark chocolate.
  • 1/2 cup Pistachios (finely chopped) Adds crunch and flavor; can replace with almonds or omit for nut-free.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs with melted butter, then press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan.
  3. In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth. Incorporate heavy cream and vanilla extract until creamy.
  4. Gently fold in the melted white chocolate, then add chopped pistachios and eggs; mix until well blended.
  5. Pour the creamy filling over the crust in the springform pan, smoothing the top evenly.
  6. Bake for 45-50 minutes, until set around the edges but with a slight jiggle in the center.
  7. Cool in the oven with the door cracked for about 1 hour, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
