Make simple, individual pistachio cheesecake cups without turning on your oven. This recipe uses a graham cracker crust and a creamy pistachio filling.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for crust)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1/2 cup pistachio pudding mix (dry mix)
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped pistachios (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Mix the graham cracker crumbs and 1/4 cup granulated sugar in a bowl. Pour in the melted butter and stir until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
  2. Press about 1 tablespoon of the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of 12 standard muffin cups lined with paper liners. Place the cups in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk the dry pistachio pudding mix with the milk until fully combined and slightly thickened. Fold this pistachio mixture into the cream cheese base until the color is uniform.
  6. Spoon or pipe the pistachio filling evenly over the crusts in the muffin cups.
  7. Chill the cheesecake cups in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
  8. Before serving, top each cup with a sprinkle of chopped pistachios.

Notes

  • Use a food processor to quickly crush the graham crackers if you do not have pre-made crumbs.
  • For a slightly greener color, add one drop of green food coloring to the filling mixture.
  • You can substitute vanilla wafers or shortbread cookies for the graham crackers in the crust.
