FAQs

Can I use salted pistachios?
Yes, but rinse and dry them to remove excess salt, as it can overpower the dessert.

What can I use instead of pistachio paste?
Blend shelled pistachios with a bit of neutral oil to create homemade pistachio paste.

How do I prevent cracks in the cheesecake?
Bake in a water bath or place a tray of water on the oven’s lower rack to maintain moisture. Cooling the cheesecake slowly also helps avoid cracks.

Can I skip the sour cream topping?
Absolutely! You can leave the cheesecake plain or top it with a pistachio glaze or powdered sugar instead.
