Happy Wednesday guys! Recipe of the day is Dark Chocolate Pistachio Cheesecake – rich and indulgent, oven-baked cheesecake with lots of pistachios! 🙂

Dark Chocolate Pistachio Cheesecake

What you need:

  • eggs
  • cream cheese
  • pistachios
  • dark chocolate
  • double cream
  • butter
  • digestive biscuits
  • sugar

As much as I love the convenience of no bake cheesecakes, I have to admit, the baked ones are a whole different game. The taste is much more intense and different, to me. The steps are almost the same, except for the baking part. If you haven’t tried a baked cheesecake yet, I’d strongly recommend, it’s delicious. 🙂

Here’s how to make this delicious Dark Chocolate Pistachio Cheesecake

Ingredients:

For the filling:

  • 250g pistachio nuts, shells removed and thinly chopped
  • 400g cream cheese
  • 120ml sour cream

  • 200g digestive biscuits, crushed
  • 80g butter, melted

Fort the topping:

  • 100g dark chocolate, broken into pieces
  • 100ml double cream
  • chocolate candies, for decoration
  • pistachio nuts, for decoration

Preparation:

  • Preheat the oven to 170°C.
  • Combine the biscuits and butter together and press them down into a 23cm tin, covered with baking paper. Refrigerate while making the filling.
  • In a bowl, mix the sour cream, cream cheese, sugar, eggs, eggs yolks and pistachio nuts till a smooth consistency. Place on top of the biscuit layer and cook in the oven for about 50 minutes. Take out of the oven and let it cool.
