Ingredients

Cheesecake Base

  • 300 g digestive biscuits
  • 150 g unsalted butter melted

Cheesecake Filling

  • 600 g full-fat cream cheese softened
  • 300 ml double cream
  • 300 g pistachio cream
  • 200 g white chocolate
  • 110 g icing sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Decoration (Optional)

  • Squirty cream
  • Chopped pistachio nuts
  • Melted pistachio cream

Instructions

Prepare the Cheesecake Base

  • Place the digestive biscuits into a large resealable bag and crush them finely using a rolling pin, or process them in a food processor until evenly crumbed. Transfer the crumbs to a mixing bowl.
  • Melt the unsalted butter in the microwave or over low heat and pour it over the crushed biscuits. Mix thoroughly until the crumbs are fully coated.
  • Transfer the biscuit mixture into a lined 8-inch (20 cm) springform or loose-bottom cake tin. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the base using the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed glass.
  • Place the base in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.

Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

  • Break the white chocolate into small pieces and melt gently in the microwave in short intervals, stirring between each burst. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, double cream, pistachio cream, icing sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture thickens and reaches soft peaks. Take care not to overwhip.
  • Pour the melted white chocolate into the filling mixture and gently mix until fully incorporated and smooth.
  • Spoon the cheesecake filling over the chilled biscuit base and spread evenly using an offset spatula or the back of a spoon.
  • Refrigerate the cheesecake for a minimum of 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until fully set.

Decorate and Serve

  • Before serving, decorate the cheesecake with swirls of squirty cream, chopped pistachio nuts, and drizzles of melted pistachio cream, if desired.
