Put the pistachios (cleaned) in the food processor and grind them, but not very finely. 3. Add the biscuits and continue to grind until the mixture is smooth. 4. Add a spoonful of sugar and the melted (but cooled) butter. 5. Mix well with a spoon until you get a homogeneous mixture. If the dough is too crumbly, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk. 6. Place the adjustable ring on the plate and try to avoid it moving as you put in the biscuit crust. 7. Even out the biscuit crust, and press down with a spoon, being careful not to move the ring. Refrigerate.Raspberry cream: 8. Put the raspberries (they can be frozen) in a saucepan with water and boil until it begins to thicken. 9. Add the sugar and cook until it approaches the consistency of jam. 10. Turn off the heat and leave to cool for an hour.Cream cheese: 11.

Leave for 5 minutes, then pour over the cream cheese and mix well. Add the vanilla extract. 14. Refrigerate the cream until it hardens slightly, i.e. it has a creamy appearance, but is still liquid enough to mix without lumps. 15. Whip the cream with the remaining 30 gr (1 oz) of powdered sugar. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese. 16. Remove the biscuit crust dish from the refrigerator. 17. Top with the raspberry cream and level well. 18. Over the raspberry cream, spread the cream cheese and level again. 19. Refrigerate the cheesecake until the next day.Decorations: 20. After 24 hours, take the cheesecake out of the fridge and run a thin-bladed knife between the cream and the ring. 21. Take the knife full circle and carefully remove the ring. 22. Melt 50 gr (1.75 oz) white chocolate with a tablespoon of oil in bain marie. 23. When completely melted, use the chocolate to decorate the cheesecake. 24. To make it even prettier, sprinkle the top with ground pistachios and decorate with fresh raspberries.
