Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 1 cup Graham Cracker Crumbs Substitute with crushed vanilla wafers for a different flavor.
  • 6 tablespoons Butter Can be replaced with coconut oil or margarine for a dairy-free option.
For the Filling
  • 8 ounces Cream Cheese Make sure it's at room temperature for easy mixing.
  • 1 box Instant Pistachio Pudding Mix If unavailable, use vanilla pudding mix and add chopped pistachios for texture.
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar Can be exchanged with granulated sugar for a grainier finish.
  • 1 teaspoon Almond Extract Can be substituted with vanilla extract for a milder taste.
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Light cream can be used but may result in a less rich texture.

Equipment

  • Springform Pan
  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until evenly coated. Press into the bottom of an 8" or 9" round Springform pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add instant pistachio pudding mix, powdered sugar, and almond extract, mixing until creamy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes. Set aside.
  4. Gently fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture until well combined.
  5. Spread the filling evenly over the chilled crust. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours to set.
  6. After chilling, remove the sides of the Springform pan and garnish with whipped cream and chopped pistachios before serving.
