Ingredients - Serves 8

Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
In a separate mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
Add the sour cream and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture and mix well.
In a small bowl, prepare the pistachio pudding mix by whisking it with milk until thickened.
Fold the pistachio pudding into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
Pour the cheesecake batter over the crust in the springform pan.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are slightly golden.
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature.
Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow it to set.
Before serving, top the cheesecake with whipped cream and chopped pistachios.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy!
