Method

Hide images
step 1
Lightly grease the sides and line the bottom of a 23cm loose bottom tin. Blitz the cookies (300 g) in a food processor until you have fine crumbs. Combine with the melted butter (175 g).
step 2
Press the mix into the tin using the back of a wooden spoon to flatten, then put in the fridge to chill for at least 1 hour.
step 3
Meanwhile, blitz 1 ½ packs of the pistachios (150 g) with the sugar (200 g) in the same food processor you used to blitz the biscuits (you don’t have to clean the bowl). You want the mix to be quite fine but be careful it doesn’t turn into a paste.
step 4
Once the base is chilled, make the topping. Mix the soft cheese (750 g) with the cream (150 ml) using an electric hand whisk until smooth. Add in the pistachio sugar and vanilla (1 tsp) and whisk again until combined.
step 5
Spread over the chilled base using a spatula and chill for at least 4 hours.
step 6
To decorate, scatter over the pistachios (50 g) and finish with the toasted almonds (as needed).
