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

This cheesecake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I would recommend using less sugar in the filling.
