1
Prepare the Crust
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of sugar until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan and bake for 10 minutes. Remove and let cool.
2
Make the Cheesecake Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and remaining sugar until smooth. Add sour cream, vanilla extract, and finely ground pistachios, mixing until well incorporated. Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined.
3
Bake the Cheesecake
Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set and only slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door ajar for 1 hour.
4
Chill and Prepare Toppings
After cooling, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. Before serving, whip heavy cream to soft peaks and sweeten with orange honey. Top the cheesecake with whipped cream and garnish with candied pistachios.
