Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups vanilla wafer crumbs
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 16 oz cream cheese (room temperature)
  • 1 pkg instant pistachio pudding mix (3.4 oz)
  • 2 cups heavy cream (for whipping)
  • ½ cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine vanilla wafer crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until the mixture resembles damp sand. Press firmly into the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Chill in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.
  2. In another bowl, beat room temperature cream cheese until smooth. Add pistachio pudding mix, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar; mix until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold one-third of whipped cream into the cheesecake mixture until fully incorporated, then fold in the remaining whipped cream.
  4. Spread the filling evenly over the chilled crust and smooth out the top with a spatula. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  5. Before serving, whip additional heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract for topping. Spread or pipe over the cheesecake and garnish with chopped pistachios if desired.
