Instructions

In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill for 15 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, lime juice, and lime zest, and beat until well combined.
Fold in whipped cream gently until fully incorporated.
Fold in chopped cherries and pistachios evenly.
Spoon the mixture onto the chilled crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight until set.
Before serving, garnish with additional cherries, pistachios, and lime zest if desired. Slice and serve chilled.

Notes

Drain and pat cherries dry to avoid extra moisture in the filling.
Use roasted unsalted pistachios for best flavor balance.
Can be made a day ahead and stored in the fridge until ready to serve.
