How to Make Mascarpone Cheesecake With Honeyed Pistachios

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until evenly moistened. Press mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan, creating an even crust.
  3. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and mascarpone cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add sugar, beating until well combined.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in lemon zest and lemon juice.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared crust.
  6. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges and the center is just slightly jiggly.
  7. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour. This helps prevent cracking.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  9. While the cheesecake is cooling, prepare the honeyed pistachios: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Toss pistachios with honey and salt on a baking sheet. Roast for 8-10 minutes, or until fragrant and slightly toasted.
  10. Once the cheesecake is completely cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to set completely.
  11. Before serving, garnish with honeyed pistachios.
