Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Pie Crust: In a food processor, blend flour, salt, and sugar. Pulse in cold butter until resembling coarse crumbs. Stir in pistachios and mix in ice water until a dough forms. Shape into a disc, wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  3. Blend the Filling: Grind pistachios and the remaining sugar until sandy. Beat cream cheese with sugar, then add eggs one at a time, followed by extracts, milk, and ground pistachios until well mixed.
  4. Roll Out the Crust: Roll chilled dough into a circle large enough for a 9-inch pie dish. Transfer it gently into the dish and crimp the edges.
  5. Fill the Crust: Pour the filling into the crimped pie crust.
  6. Bake the Pie: Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Cool and Chill: Let the pie cool for 1-2 hours, then refrigerate for another 2-3 hours.
  8. Serve Your Pie: Slice and optionally serve with whipped cream and chopped pistachios.
