………………This is my first attempt at making a………..”PISTACHIO CHEESECAKE”……….and the vote is in! Everyone loved it including me. I got the receipt from STANLEY TUCCI on Facebook…..Most of the ingredients are basic….except for the UNSALTED PISTACHIOS…..and……PISTACHIO PASTE…….NONE of the grocers where I live had either….They have plenty of salted pistachios, but none unsalted…..What about people who love pistachios, but have to limit their salt intake…..Amazon came through, they always do! I got both the unsalted Pistachios, and the Pistachio Paste…no problem. The only problem I had was which to choose from out of the many options……Now that I have mastered the Pistachio Cheesecake I will go back to Amazon and get a supply…..I only have one question for Stanley….His photos look like he doubled the batter and had a layer of Pistachios in the center. There was no way I could do that with the amount of batter I had and the amount of pistachios the receipt called for….Maybe next time I will double everything….even make the crust a little thicker like his photo……My next cheese cake will be my Chocolate Cheesecake that George asked me for his birthday on the 22nd, and a new LEMON CHEESEDCAKE that my nephew Chris asked me for when he comes for the weekend!……I will soon change the name of my house from….CHEZ LOUIE…….to……….LOUIE’S PATISSERIE!
