Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup pistachios, roasted and salted
  • 8 ounces white chocolate
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon agar-agar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs with melted unsalted butter until well mixed.
  3. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan using your fingers or the back of a measuring cup.

  5. In a large mixing bowl, beat together softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
  6. Add in sour cream and vanilla extract, and mix until fully incorporated.
  7. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt white chocolate in short bursts (about 20 seconds each) until fully melted and smooth when stirred.
  8. Let it cool slightly before adding it to your cream cheese mixture.
  9. Chop roasted pistachios coarsely (reserving some whole ones for garnish).
  10. Gently fold these into your cream cheese mixture along with any optional pistachio extract you desire.
  11. In a small saucepan over medium heat, dissolve agar-agar in water while stirring continuously until clear.
  12. Let it cool slightly before folding it into your cheesecake filling mix.
  13. Pour this delicious filling over your cooled crust in the springform pan.
  14. Smooth out the top with a spatula and sprinkle additional chopped pistachios on top if desired.
  15. Refrigerate for at least four hours or overnight to allow it to set properly.
