Pistachios are in vogue, just like cheesecakes. The combination of these two ingredients creates a true heaven on a plate. If you dream of a pistachio cheesecake, you can easily prepare it home. This recipe is so simple that even a preschooler could handle it.

Pistachios have conquered the world of ice cream, cakes, creams, cheesecakes, desserts, and even coffee. Cakes with the addition of pistachios sell out quickly, just like ice cream. Although their taste has accompanied us for many years, it has never been as trendy as it is now.

Pistachios are sweet, salty, and intensely nutty. They complement both savory dishes and desserts. There's nothing better than a slice of creamy pistachio cheesecake. You can easily make it at home. Discover a recipe that even a novice baker can master. It couldn't be simpler.

Pistachios have a very intense flavor. You don't need many for them to take center stage. For this reason, they often end up in creams, cakes, or desserts. Although nutritionists unanimously agree that pistachios are healthy, they have one minor drawback — they are very high in calories. In 3.5 oz of pistachios, there are as many as 563 calories. Therefore, a cheesecake with pistachios becomes an actual calorie bomb.

This doesn't mean you have to give up your favorite dessert. Discover a simple pistachio cheesecake recipe that anyone can master. Unlike a classic cheesecake, it has fewer calories as it contains no sugar. Instead, it uses erythritol, one of the most popular sweeteners.
