Method
Make the Crust
- In a large bowl or food processor, combine all-purpose flour, salt, and granulated sugar. Cut in cold salted butter until crumbly. Stir in finely chopped pistachios and gradually add ice water until dough forms. Shape into a disc and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Prepare the Filling
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Blend lightly salted pistachios with half of the sugar until finely ground. In a separate bowl, beat remaining sugar and cream cheese until smooth. Add eggs, mixing well, then incorporate extracts, whole milk, and ground pistachios.
Assemble the Pie
- Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish, crimping edges. Pour the pistachio filling into the crust and bake for 45-50 minutes, until edges are set and center jiggles.
Cool and Serve
- Cool at room temperature for at least 2 hours, then refrigerate for 3 hours. Serve chilled, topped with whipped cream and additional chopped pistachios.

Notes
Chill dough for flakier crust. Avoid overbaking; center should jiggle slightly. Use room temperature ingredients for best texture.
