Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup crushed digestive biscuits
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup shelled pistachios, finely ground
- 1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8×8 inch baking pan lined with parchment paper.
- Make the crust by combining crushed digestive biscuits with melted butter and pressing it into the bottom of the pan.
- Prepare the blackberry filling by cooking blackberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch in a saucepan until thickened.
- Create the pistachio topping by blending finely ground pistachios with confectioners’ sugar and heavy cream until smooth.
- Assemble the bars by layering the pistachio mixture over the crust, followed by the cream cheese layer, and then the blackberry filling.
- Chill the assembled bars in the fridge for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.
