How to make pistachio cheesecake step by step

Step 1 - prepare the baking pan

• We bake the cheesecake in a water bath, so secure the baking pan from the outside with 3-4 sheets of aluminum foil - press it firmly against the pan - if you don't know how to do this, watch my short video below the recipe.
• Line the inside of the pan with baking paper.

Step 2 - prepare the biscuit base

• Blend the biscuits into a powder, or crush them very thoroughly - e.g., with a rolling pin.
  130 g biscuits
• Add the melted butter and mix thoroughly.
  60 g butter
• Pour the biscuits into the prepared pan and press firmly over the entire bottom.
  

Step 3 - prepare the pistachio cheesecake

• Transfer the quark cheese to a large bowl, add the pistachio cream, yogurt, sugar, flour, and eggs.
  1 kg cheesecake cheese (cream cheese), 250 g pistachio cream, 120 g natural yogurt, 100 g powdered sugar, 4 eggs, 2 tablespoons potato starch
  
• Blend everything together on medium speed with a mixer - just until combined into a smooth mass.
  
• Transfer the cheesecake mixture to the pan and smooth the surface.
  

Step 4 - bake the cheesecake in a water bath

• Place the cheesecake pan into a larger pan or baking sheet (one that doesn't leak) and pour hot water into it.
• Place both pans into an oven preheated to 160 degrees Celsius (top/bottom heat mode) and bake the cheesecake for 1.5 hours.
• After baking, remove the cheesecake from the oven, remove the springform ring, and let it cool.

Step 5 - decorate the pistachio cheesecake

• Briefly heat the pistachio cream in the microwave until it is slightly liquid.
  approx 50 g pistachio cream
• Pour it over the top of the cheesecake and spread it over the entire surface.
  
• Finally, sprinkle with chopped pistachios.
