Homemade Pistachio Cheesecake Recipe |
|
My Grandma is my favorite cook. This is one of her Cheesecake recipes that I absolutely love! Ingredients - 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup of ground almonds
- 1/2 cup cold butter
- 6 packages (8 ounces each) of softened cream cheese
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 packages (3.4 ounces each) of instant pistachio pudding mix
- 5 eggs
- Optional:
- chocolate syrup
- chopped pistachios
- whipped cream
Directions
1. In a small bowl, combine the flour and almonds; cut in butter until crumbly. In a greased 10 inch springform pan, press mixture 1 1/4 inch up the sides. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, condensed milk and pudding mixes until smooth. Add eggs; beat on low speed just until combined. Pour over crust.
3. Place pan on a baking sheet. Reduce heat to 350. Bake for 55-60 minutes or until the center is almost set.
4. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Carefully run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen; cool 1 hour longer. Refrigerate overnight.
5. Remove sides of pan. Slice cheesecake and serve. If desired, drizzle slices with chocolate syrup, garnish with whipped cream and pistachios. |
