Lush Raspberry Pistachio Cheesecake Delight
Ingredients:
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup chopped pistachios
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1/2 cup raspberry jam (optional)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Directions:
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of the springform pan to form the crust. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Stir in the sour cream until just combined.
- Fold in the chopped pistachios and fresh raspberries gently.
- Pour the filling over the prepared crust. If using raspberry jam, swirl it into the filling.
- Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly open for 1 hour.
- Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread over the chilled cheesecake.
- Garnish with fresh raspberries and chopped pistachios before serving.
