Cooking steps
Pistachio Cheesecake
Step 1: Prepare the Crust
- Combine ground cookies, sugar, and melted butter in a bowl. Mix well and press into the bottom of a baking pan.
Step 2: Make the Filling
- In a separate bowl, mix cream cheese, cheese, eggs, cornstarch, and pistachio cream. Use a mixer but avoid overmixing.
Step 3: Bake the Cheesecake
- Pour the filling into the prepared crust. Bake in a preheated oven at 125 degrees Celsius for 60-70 minutes. The edges should slightly pull away from the sides of the pan, while the center remains soft.
Step 4: Cool the Cheesecake
- Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for an additional hour to prevent cracking. Let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate (preferably overnight).
Step 5: Prepare the Ganache
- Melt white chocolate, heavy cream, and pistachio cream together over medium heat. Allow it to cool, then refrigerate overnight.
Step 6: Finish the Cheesecake
- Before applying the ganache to the cheesecake, soften it with a mixer. Spread the ganache over the cheesecake before serving.
