Ingredients
  

  • For the Base:
  • 200 g Kadayif angel hair
  • 20 g butter
  • 180 g pistachio cream
  • 1 tsp sesame paste tahini
  • For the Filling:
  • 100 g powdered sugar
  • 600 g double cream cheese natural
  • 200 g cream
  • 3 packs of cream stiffener
  • 100 g pistachio cream
  • For the Topping:
  • 75 g cream
  • 150 g whole milk couverture
  • 2 tbsp chopped pistachios
  • As a side:
  • Some melted butter for the mold
  • Some powdered sugar for shaping

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Cake Ring: Set a cake ring with a 26 cm diameter on a cake plate. Brush the inside of the ring with melted butter and sprinkle with powdered sugar to prevent sticking.
  • Make the Base: Chop the Kadayif into approximately 1.5 cm pieces. In a pan over medium heat, melt the butter and fry the angel hair until golden brown, about 8 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Combine Kadayif with Pistachio: Heat the pistachio cream in a water bath until more liquid, then mix it with the fried Kadayif and sesame paste. Press this mixture firmly into the prepared cake ring and refrigerate for about 1 hour.
  • Prepare the Filling: Sift the powdered sugar and blend it with cream cheese, cream, and cream stiffener until smooth. Add pistachio cream and mix for 5 minutes until creamy.
  • Layer the Cream: Spread the cream cheese mixture over the chilled cake base using a palette knife to smooth it out.
  • Chill the Cheesecake: Refrigerate the cheesecake for approximately 4-5 hours (preferably overnight) to let the flavors meld together beautifully.
