Bake the cheesecake for 60 minutes at 180°C, then very carefully remove it from the oven and let it cool. Remove the cheesecake from the mold and decorate it using the Dr. Oetker pastry decor.
To decorate, prepare a green glaze, for this, dip a bag of icing sugar in hot water for 5 minutes. Lightly remember the packaging to make the mass more uniform, and then cut off the corner and cover the surface of the cheesecake with icing. Without waiting for the glaze to solidify, decorate it with colored Dr. Oetker pearls and pistachios. Green and pink shades will emphasize the spring mood, awakening and renewal of the soul — the main symbols of Easter.
