Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch (20x20cm) baking pan with parchment paper. In a bowl, mix all-purpose flour, half the sugar, a pinch of salt, and melted butter until crumbly.
- Press the dough evenly into the pan. Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden-brown.
- Beat softened cream cheese and the remaining sugar for 2 minutes until smooth. Add egg and vanilla, beating on low just until combined.
- Pour the smooth, dense filling over the warm baked crust and spread evenly.
- Dollop warmed raspberry jam over the filling. Drag a butter knife through the dollops in a figure-eight motion to create a glossy swirl.
- Bake for 22-25 minutes until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly.
- Cool at room temperature for 1 hour, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Slice with a hot knife, and garnish generously with fresh raspberries and chopped roasted pistachios.

Notes
Use a hot, clean knife for slicing to achieve sharp, clean edges.
Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to prevent lumps in the filling.
