I made pistachio cheesecake with moist and rich chocolate flavored brownie-style sheets.
I made the cheesecake simply using pistachio paste.
You can taste the rich, rich pistachio flavor, and it goes well with the chocolate sheet and ganache, so it looks delicious.

- Remove the bowl from the pot, then add sugar and salt and mix. Add the egg yolks and combine.
- Sift in cake flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder, then fold gently.
- Add warm milk (around 40°C) and mix, letting it sit for a moment.
- In a separate bowl, add sugar to the egg whites in two portions and whip to form meringue.
- Gently fold half of the meringue into the chocolate mixture, then transfer the mixture back into the meringue bowl and fold until well combined.
