This appealing dessert, with its pretty pistachio filling, almond crust and chocolate drizzle, is creamy smooth. I’ve never seen cheesecake disappear so quickly!

Pistachio Cheesecake Recipe
Pistachio Cheesecake
2 cups flour
½ cup ground almonds
½ cup cold butter
6 pkgs. (8 oz. each) cream cheese, softened
1 can (14 oz.) sweetened condensed milk
2 pkgs. (3.4 oz. each) pistachio pudding mix
5 eggs, lightly beaten
Chocolate syrup, optional
Whipped cream and chopped pistachio, optional
In a small bowl, combine the flour and almonds; cut in butter until crumbly. Press onto the bottom and 1 ¼ inch up the sides of a greased 10 inch springform pan. Bake at 400 F for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, beat cream cheese, milk and pudding mixes until smooth. Add eggs; beat on low speed just until combined. Pour over crust.
Place pan on a baking sheet. Reduce heat to 350 F. Bake for 55-60 minutes or until the center is almost set. Cool on wire rack for 10 minutes. Carefully run a knife around edge on pan to loosen; cool 1 hour longer. Refrigerate overnight.
Slice cheesecake; drizzle slice with chocolate syrup. Garnish with whipped cream and pistachios if desired. 12-14 servings
