Honey Baklava Cheesecake is a luxurious fusion dessert combining the creamy richness of cheesecake with the nutty, flaky layers of traditional baklava, all drizzled with sweet honey.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup finely chopped walnuts
  • 1 cup finely chopped pistachios
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 8 sheets phyllo dough, thawed
  • 1/4 cup melted butter (for phyllo layers)
  • 1/2 cup honey

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. Mix graham cracker crumbs and 1/4 cup melted butter; press into the bottom of the pan to form a crust.
  3. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla and sour cream, beating until fully combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix chopped walnuts, pistachios, and cinnamon.
  5. Layer 4 sheets of phyllo dough over the crust, brushing each with melted butter and sprinkling a bit of the nut mixture between layers.
  6. Pour the cheesecake batter over the phyllo and nut layers.
  7. Top with 4 more phyllo sheets, again brushing each with melted butter and sprinkling with nuts between layers.
  8. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the center is set.
  9. Cool completely, then drizzle with honey before serving.

Notes

  • Keep phyllo dough covered with a damp cloth while working to prevent drying out.
  • Use a water bath while baking for a smoother cheesecake texture.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Warm the honey slightly before drizzling for easier application.
