Ingredients
 
 

Pistachio Chestnut Crust

Cheese Cream

  • 400 gram vegan cream cheese based on coconut
  • 250 gram vegan soy, or almond cream cheese
  • ½-⅔ cup sugar by taste, add gradually
  • 50 grams vegan butter 1/4 cup
  • 2 Tablespoons almond butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • cup corn starch
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • ¼ tsp salt

Pistachio Cream

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180 degrees 356 F.

Pistachio Chestnut Crust

  • Put the chestnuts in a medium bowl and mash them with a potato masher or a fork; if a few small lumps are left - no big deal - it adds some interest.
  • Chop the pistachios in a food processor until you get slightly coarse crumbs; Stop the processor occasionally, to scrape the sides with a spatula. Transfer to the bowl of chestnuts.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients, and mix until combined to a dough.
  • Wet your hands a little and line the bottom of the greased pan: only the bottom, no sides.
  • Bake in the center of the oven for 10 minutes; remove the pan and place on a wire rack to cool completely.

Cheese Cream

  • In a deep mixing bowl, using a mixer, mix cheese, sugar, cornstarch, butter, almond butter, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt (you can use a hand mixer). Mix until combined.
  • Set aside a quarter of a cup of the cheese mixture and set aside, we will use it later.
  • Pour the rest of the cream cheese into the pan and level with a spatula.

Pistachio Cream

  • Put the cream cheese we kept aside in a bowl, add pistachio butter and mix well.
  • Put the pistachio cream on top of the cream cheese.
  • Dip the pistachio cream into the cream cheese using a chopstick, and create a marble shape by making circles in the cream. Start with the thick side of the chopstick, and then, if necessary, switch to the thinner side - especially at the edges.
  • Put the cake in the oven and bake for 50 minutes, until the cake sets and the edges are golden.
  • Turn off the oven and leave the cake in it for half an hour. Next, remove it from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack. Cover and place in the fridge for at least three hours before serving.
