🍋 Lemon-Lime Cherry Pistachio Cheesecake 🍒
This dish combines traditional and modern flavors in an amazing way.
Ingredients
For the Crust:
1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
½ cup finely chopped pistachios
¼ cup granulated sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For the Cheesecake Filling:
24 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Zest of 1 lemon and 1 lime
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Topping:
1 cup cherry pie filling
½ cup chopped pistachios
Lemon and lime zest for garnish
Directions
Prepare the Crust:
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, chopped pistachios, sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
Make the Cheesecake Filling:
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Mix in flour, lemon and lime zest, juices, and vanilla extract. Blend until creamy and well-combined.
Bake the Cheesecake:
Pour the filling over the cooled crust. Place the springform pan in a larger roasting pan. Fill the roasting pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the cheesecake pan (to create a water bath).
Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center jiggles slightly. Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour.
Chill the Cheesecake:
Remove from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Add the Toppings:
Spread cherry pie filling evenly over the top of the cheesecake. Sprinkle with chopped pistachios and garnish with lemon and lime zest.
Serve & Enjoy:
Remove the cheesecake from the springform pan, slice, and enjoy this vibrant, flavorful dessert!
