  • Blender
  • Fine-mesh sieve

INGREDIENTS
 

  • 1/2 cup/100 grams cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • 1 1/2 cups/210 grams all-purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup/80 grams powdered sugar
  • 7 ounces/200 grams full-fat cream cheese
  • 1 cup/240 grams sour cream
  • 3/4 cup/150 grams granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup/50 grams instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1/3 cup/100 milliliters whole milk
  • 3.5 ounces/100 grams shelled pistachios
  • 3.5 ounces/100 grams white chocolate, finely chopped
  • Dried raspberries, for garnish

INSTRUCTIONS

  • In a food processor, combine the flour, powdered sugar, and butter. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Turn the dough onto a work surface, knead gently into a ball, flatten into a disk, and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill for at least 2 hours.
  • Lightly flour a work surface and roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch/0.3 cm thick. Fit into a 9-inch/24 cm tart pan with a removable bottom, pressing into the base and sides. Trim the edges and chill while preparing the filling.
  • Heat the oven to 320°F/160°C. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese, sour cream, and sugar on low speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until incorporated. Add the pudding mix and beat until smooth and slightly thickened. Pour into the chilled crust.
  • Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until just set around the edges. Reduce the heat to 300°F/150°C and bake for 25 minutes more, until the center barely jiggles. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until completely chilled, at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • To make the pistachio cream, heat the milk and pistachios in a small saucepan over medium heat until steaming. Transfer to a blender and blend until very smooth. Return to the pan, add the white chocolate, and stir gently until melted and smooth. Let cool slightly.
  • Pour the pistachio cream over the chilled cheesecake and use an offset spatula to spread evenly. Top with dried raspberries and refrigerate until set, at least 3 hours.
