This appealing dessert, with its pretty pistachio filling, almond crust and chocolate drizzle, is creamy smooth. I created it one Christmas Eve and my family raved about it. I've never seen cheesecake disappear so quickly! -Karen Ankerson, Manistee, Michigan

The filling is great. But the crust I would use a graham cracker or cookie crust for the crust part. The crust was like pie dough .That part was awful also the crust was quite thick. I like a lot thinner crust. Instead of using chocolate syrup. I melteded chocolate chips and drizzled it over the top.

I added a tablespoon of almond extract to boost the flavor and about 3 drops of green food coloring to boost the color. Instead of the chocolate topping, I stirred up a can of whole berry cranberry sauce and spooned it over the top around the edge .... everyone at my open house remarked how the red berries and green cake looked just like a Christmas wreath. Very tasty!!

This cheesecake is great! I really liked the almond crust, it went very good with the pistachio flavor.

My Mom made this Cheesecake for Easter and it was sooooo.... Good. I wanted to take 2 pieces home (one for my Husband and 1for Me) But there wasn't any left. She didn't put the chocolate syrup on it and she put the cream all on top and pieces of Pistachio on top. I will be making it but i need to get myself a springform pan first. Yummy!!!

My husband loves Pistachios so he made a special request for this one. The pudding did give it a different texture than my other cheesecakes. The crust didn't hold together as well as a graham cracker crust. Regardless, it was enjoyed by a lot of people!

THIS WAS A GREAT CHEESECAKE! I MADE IT FOR THANKSGIVING THIS LAST YEAR. WHEN I MADE IT THE CHOCOLATE TOPPING DID NOT REALLY SOUND THAT APPEALING SO MY MOM(WHO DOESN'T DO MUCH BAKING) SUGGESTED A CRUSHED PINEAPPLE TOPPING, SO I WENT WITH THE SMUCKER'S PINEAPPLE ICE CREAM TOPPING AND IT REALLY WORKED GREAT. I DID FEEL LIKE THE NEXT TIME I MAKE IT, AND THERE WILL BE A NEXT TIME, THAT I WILL ADD AN EXTRA PACK OF PUDDING TO GIVE A STRONGER PRESENCE. =)

I impressed my family at Christmas with this delicious cheesecake. I only messed up the crust, which was a little too thick.
