- Crust:
1 cup graham cracker crumbs 🍪
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted 🧈
1/4 cup granulated sugar 🍬
- Cheesecake Filling:
16 oz cream cheese, softened 🧀
1 cup sour cream 🥛
3/4 cup granulated sugar 🍬
3 large eggs 🥚
1 teaspoon vanilla extract 🌿
- Baklava Topping:
1 cup chopped walnuts or pistachios 🥜
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 🌟
1/2 cup honey 🍯
1/4 cup water 💧
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted 🧈
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). 🔥
- In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes and then let it cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined. 🥄
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
- While the cheesecake is baking, prepare the baklava topping. In a saucepan, combine honey, water, and ground cinnamon. Bring to a simmer and let it thicken for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped nuts and melted butter. 🍯
- Once the cheesecake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely before chilling it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
- Before serving, spread the baklava topping evenly over the chilled cheesecake.
