  • 1/2 cup Unsalted butter softened for easy mixing
Cheesecake Filling

  • 1/2 cup Honey for natural sweetness; maple syrup is a vegan alternative

Method
 

Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather your equipment including a mixing bowl, springform pan, and a baking sheet.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the pistachio flour and softened butter until crumbly. Press into the bottom of your springform pan and bake for 10–12 minutes until golden.
  3. Blend the cream cheese, honey, and sugar using an electric mixer until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, ensuring complete incorporation.
  4. Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust and top with crumbled baklava pieces. Press the baklava gently into the mixture.
  5. Bake for 40–45 minutes until the edges set with a slightly jiggly center.
  6. Cool the cheesecake at room temperature for about an hour. Then, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  7. Slice and serve with a drizzle of honey or a dollop of whipped cream.
