Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Cheesecake:
    • 24 ounces cream cheese, softened
    • 1 cup sugar
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 3 large eggs
    • 1 cup sour cream
    • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • For the Baklava Layers:
    • 1 cup pistachios, finely chopped
    • 1 cup walnuts, finely chopped
    • 1 cup almonds, finely chopped
    • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted and divided
    • 1 package phyllo dough, thawed
  • For the Honey Syrup:
    • 1 cup honey
    • 1/2 cup water
    • 1/2 cup sugar
    • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Set the stage for your cheesecake wonder!

Step 2: Prepare the Cheesecake Mixture

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Blend in the vanilla, followed by the eggs—one at a time. Stir in the sour cream and flour until velvety.

Step 3: Mix the Nut Filling

In another bowl, mix the pistachios, walnuts, almonds, and cinnamon.

Step 4: Prepare the Springform Pan

Grab a 9-inch springform pan and brush it with melted butter. Layer about 8 sheets of phyllo dough, brushing each with butter, in the bottom of the pan.

Step 5: Layer the Nuts

Sprinkle a generous amount of the nut mixture over the phyllo. Repeat with another set of 8 sheets and nuts until all is used.

Step 6: Add the Cheesecake Layer

Pour the creamy cheesecake mixture over the nutty layers. Bake for around 1 hour until the center sets.

Step 7: Prepare the Honey Syrup

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, water, sugar, and lemon juice to make the syrup. Simmer until sugar dissolves; then stir in vanilla.

Step 8: Pour the Honey Syrup

Once out of the oven, pour the warm honey syrup over the cheesecake. Let it cool to soak in all the goodness.
