Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine crushed pistachios, all-purpose flour, and melted butter until crumbly. Pour into a greased 9-inch springform pan and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
- Allow the crust to cool on a wire rack for about 15 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add honey, sugar, and vanilla, mixing well. Add eggs one at a time, mixing until just combined.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Layer pieces of baklava over the cheesecake filling, pressing lightly into the batter.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes until set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- After baking, cool at room temperature for 1 hour, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight before serving.
