Ingredients
- 150 g Knafeh pastry
- 75 g Butter (Melted)
- 50 g Pistachio spread
- 600 g Double cream (heavy whipping cream (US/CAN) - min 35% fat - or (AUS) thickened cream)
- 100 g Icing sugar (powdered sugar)
- 600 g Cream cheese (Full fat)
- 100 g Pistachio paste
- 100 g Milk chocolate (Melted)
- 30 g Pistachios (Chopped or slivered)
Method
- Makes the base: Melt the butter, then stir into the knafeh pastry, followed by the pistachio paste.
- Press this mixture evenly into the base of a 18cm (7") springform pan (US)/loose-bottomed tin (UK) and place in the fridge while you prepare the filling.
- Make the creamy filling: Place the cream, sugar, cream cheese and pistachio paste in a large bowl and whip everything together, using an electric whisk, until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
- Assemble the cheesecake: Smooth the cream mix on top of the knafeh base and flatten the top with the back of a spoon or a palette knife.
- To set: Chill for 3 hours or, even better, overnight.
- To finish: When youβre ready to serve the cheesecake, remove it from the tin by running a warm knife around the inside of the tin to help it come away cleanly.
- Melt the milk chocolate in short bursts in the microwave and drizzle over the cheesecake. Top with the pistachios. For clean slices, dip your knife in hot water and wipe dry between each cut.
