Make the Filling
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add the granulated sugar and mix until well combined. Add the sour cream, lime juice, lime zest, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Gently fold in the chopped pistachios.

Bake the Cheesecake
Pour the filling onto the cooled crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door ajar for 1 hour.
