Description

A delightful dessert combining the creamy texture of cheesecake with the flaky goodness of baklava, perfect for special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1 cup honey (divided)
  • 2 cups cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 8 sheets phyllo dough
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. In a bowl, mix together the chopped walnuts, ground cinnamon, and half of the honey. Set aside.
  3. In another bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  4. Brush the springform pan with melted butter. Layer 4 sheets of phyllo dough in the pan, brushing melted butter between each sheet.
  5. Spread half of the cream cheese mixture over the phyllo dough. Sprinkle half of the walnut mixture on top.
  6. Add another 4 sheets of phyllo dough, again brushing each layer with melted butter. Pour the remaining cream cheese mixture over the phyllo dough and top with the remaining walnut mixture.
  7. Finish with the last 4 sheets of phyllo dough, brushing the top with melted butter.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the cheesecake is set.
  9. While the cheesecake is baking, heat the remaining honey in a small saucepan until warm.
  10. Once the cheesecake is done, pour the warm honey over the top. Let the cheesecake cool before slicing and serving.

Notes

Serve chilled and can be garnished with extra chopped walnuts or a drizzle of honey.
