Ingredients
  

  • 1 box Yellow Cake Mix
  • ½ cup Salted Butter, melted
  • 1 large Egg
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese, room temperature
  • 3 cups Powdered Sugar
  • ½ cup Salted Butter, melted
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • ¾ cup Pistachio Cream
  • ½ teaspoon Flaky Salt

Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • hand mixer
  • 9x13 inch baking dish
  • parchment paper

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, use a hand mixer to beat together the cake mix, melted butter, and egg until combined—about 2 minutes. Press into the bottom of the parchment paper-lined 9x13" baking dish.
  3. Wipe out that same bowl. Add the cream cheese, egg, vanilla, and melted butter and use a hand mixer to beat it until smooth. Mix in the powdered sugar, cup by cup, until it’s smooth and creamy.
  4. Add the filling to the baking dish then add spoonfuls of the pistachio cream all over the top of the filling and swirl gently with a knife.
  5. Place it in the oven and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the edges are set and starting to turn golden brown but the center is still jiggly.
  6. Let cool and stiffen slightly before cutting into squares.
  7. Sprinkle with flaky salt before serving.
