A creamy cheesecake with a delightful pistachio crust, zesty lemon-lime flavor, and cherry pie filling on top.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups crushed pistachios (for crust)
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted (for crust)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (for crust)
  • 2 cups cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 can cherry pie filling
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • Zest of 1 lime

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed pistachios, melted butter, and sugar. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
  2. Create the cream cheese mixture: In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the lemon juice, lime juice, vanilla extract, and zests, mixing until well combined.
  3. Incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
  4. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust in the springform pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
  5. Bake for about 45-50 minutes, until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
  6. Cool at room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to help it set fully.
  7. Top your cheesecake with a generous helping of cherry pie filling before serving.

Notes

Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to five days or freeze slices for up to three months.
