To make the pistachio cheesecake, start from the biscuit base. Using a mixer, pulverize the crushed biscuits and mix them with the melted butter. When you have obtained a homogeneous mixture, transfer it to a 22 cm diameter springform pan. Level with the back of a spoon and place in the refrigerator.

Pour the remaining cream into a saucepan and bring it to the limit of boiling. Add the well squeezed gelatin and let it melt. Turn off and pour the liquid over the cream cheese.

Shortly before serving, chop the chocolate and melt it in a double boiler or in the microwave at maximum power, stirring every 30 seconds. When it is melted, transfer it to a disposable piping bag and just pierce the tip so that a very thin strand of chocolate comes out. With this, decorate the pistachio cheesecake by drawing concentric circles at the edges on the surface of the cake (as in the image). Then sprinkle with coarsely chopped pistachios and serve.
