[@mehreenfarooq1089]

Amazing!! Just one question the butter used, is that supposed to be to be unsalted?

[@TheCookingFoodie]

Yes, unsalted butter.

[@NN-azuri]

Hello..how do you make the pistachio paste ?

[@TheCookingFoodie]

You can see here the method I how I make it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJK3lpJqe6aKfqcsi=ZmXPM7BZM_GAsqBb But you also can use store bought Pistachio paste.

[@MM-ib5pr]

Looks delicious; are the pistachios raw or toasted?

[@TheCookingFoodie]

I used toasted, but you also can use raw.

[@megmoore1110]

I'm making this tomorrow. I have 2 questions that I hope can get answered by then. 1. From start to finish before you put it in the refrigerator, how long does it take to make? 2. Is refrigerating it for 3 hours absolutely necessary? 3. Could it maybe only be in there for 1 hour or maybe 90 minutes? What happens if it's not refrigerated for 3 hours before you eat it?

[@TheCookingFoodie]

1. About 1.5 hours 2. Yes, at least 3-4 hours. Even overnight if possible. 3. The cheesecake must set. The minimum required is 3-4 hours.

[@cilla5277]

Without egg please

[@susannefitzpatrick9955]

What an utter waste - slicing the top and sides of the traybake off and not using them! It's meant to be 'home baking' so you should have just spread the lovely frosting on the top (all the way to the sides) and cut it into squares - it would have tasted just as good, and no wasted cake.

Wasn’t this over cooked??

[@Bluebirdie442]

I hope you ate those edges you trimmed off

[@TheCookingFoodie]

Of course 😂

[@Allenmassageguy]

Wow. U sure waste a lot of cake!

[@cindyhauert2339]

I wouldn’t cutoff top or edges, what a waste.

[@RevealTheStyle]

Wy not make some extra cookies from those cut-offs?

[@patricet.corielus6391]

He did say it’s optional

[@080319661]

Once again the size of the baking tin is not mentioned!

[@TheCookingFoodie]

Yes, it is. In the description 😊
