Delightful Pistachio & Blackberry Cheesecake Towers
Prepare the Crust Base
- In a bowl, mix crushed biscuits, chopped pistachios, melted butter, and brown sugar until it resembles wet sand.
- Press the mixture firmly into cylinder molds or small ring molds on a lined tray.
- Chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to set.
Make the Blackberry Layer
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine blackberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Stir occasionally until berries soften.
- Mix cornstarch with 1 tbsp of water, then stir into the berry mixture. Cook until thickened.
- Let it cool slightly, then spread evenly over the chilled crust.
Create the Cheesecake Filling
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until light and fluffy.
- Gently fold in whipped heavy cream to keep it airy.
- Spoon over the blackberry layer and smooth the surface.
Prepare the Pistachio Mousse
- In a bowl, whisk together pistachio paste, powdered sugar, and whipped cream until fully combined and fluffy.
- Spread this over the cheesecake layer as the final layer.
Chill Until Set
- Sprinkle chopped pistachios around the edges for texture.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (overnight is best for firm layers).
Garnish & Serve
- Carefully unmold the towers.
- Decorate with fresh blackberries, extra pistachios, and a dusting of powdered sugar.
- Serve chilled and enjoy every creamy, nutty, and fruity bite.
Notes
- Use a ring mold or food-safe acetate strips for perfect layers.
- Make it ahead. The flavors develop beautifully overnight.
- Try different berries like raspberries or blueberries for a twist.
