Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, salt, and granulated sugar. Cut in cold salted butter until the mixture resembles pea-sized crumbs.
- Stir in finely chopped pistachios, then slowly drizzle in ice water, mixing until the dough forms. Shape it into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- In a food processor, blend lightly salted roasted pistachios with half of the sugar until finely ground.
- In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese and the remaining sugar until smooth. Gradually add large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition, followed by vanilla and almond extracts, and whole milk until fully incorporated.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the chilled dough into a 9-inch pie dish, ensuring an even thickness. Crimp the edges neatly and pour the prepared filling into the crust, smoothing the top.
- Carefully place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 45-55 minutes. The edges should be set while the center remains slightly jiggly when you gently shake the pie.
- Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. Then refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving, topped with whipped cream and finely chopped pistachios.
