  • 3/4 cup Sugar Consider using organic coconut sugar for a healthier choice.
  • 3 large Eggs Ensure they are at room temperature.
  • 1 cup Sour Cream Greek yogurt makes for a lighter alternative.
  • 1 cup Chopped Nuts (e.g., walnuts, pistachios) Any preferred nut can be substituted.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Baklava Cheesecake
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until well mixed. Press this mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the springform pan.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, then gently fold in the sour cream.
  4. Add the chopped nuts into the cream cheese mixture and stir gently. Pour the filling evenly over the prepared crust, smoothing the top.
  5. Bake for 50-60 minutes until the edges are set but the center remains slightly jiggly.
  6. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for an additional hour. Then allow it to cool completely before drizzling with honey.
