This pistachio cheesecake is luxirious, rich, creamy, made with plenty of real pistachios and made without a water bath!

Into a small to medium mixing bowl, add the graham crackers crumbs, granulated sugar, melted butter, and chopped pistachios.

Mix until well combined.

Transfer the crumbs into a prepared 9-inch cake pan, pressing evenly and firmly into the pan. Bake in a preheated oven for 5-7 minutes.

In a big mixing bowl, add the room-temperature cream cheese, granulated sugar, sour cream, heavy cream, kosher salt, vanilla extract.

And mix with an electric hand mixer until the cream cheese is creamy.

Add the pistachio paste and mix until creamy and combined.

Sift the cornstarch into the mixture and mix until combined and there are no lumps of cornstarch showing.

Whisk the eggs with a fork, add them to the cream cheese batter, and mix until the mixture is creamy and smooth.

Pour the cheesecake batter over the crust, bake the cheesecake in a 140c (280f) preheated oven. 

Top the cheesecake with the pistachio topping and spread it evenly using a spoon or an offset spatula.
