Rich, nutty flavours of traditional baklava with the creamy indulgence of cheesecake. A perfect fusion of Middle Eastern flair and classic dessert elegance.

Baklava honey cheesecake

from the greenfields' kitchen

Baklava honey cheesecake is a luxurious treat that blends two beloved desserts. The nutty crunch of pistachios and walnuts paired with golden honey mimics the essence of baklava, while the creamy cheesecake base offers a velvety contrast. With layers of spiced nuts, flaky filo pastry, and smooth cheesecake, this dessert is perfect for special occasions or when you want to impress. It’s a sweet symphony of textures and flavours inspired by the Middle East.

Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
Chill Time: 4–6 hours (or overnight)
Total Time: ~7–8 hours

Portions: 12 servings

For the Nutty Baklava Layer:

  • 150g walnuts, finely chopped
  • 150g pistachios, finely chopped
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 3 tbsp honey

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 500g cream cheese, softened
  • 200g Greek yoghurt
  • 150g caster sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp plain flour
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 tbsp honey

For the Base:

  • 200g digestive biscuits, crushed into fine crumbs
  • 75g unsalted butter, melted

For the Topping:

  • 6 sheets of filo pastry
  • 75g unsalted butter, melted (for brushing)
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • A small handful of pistachios, chopped

Step 1: Prepare the Nutty Baklava Layer

  1. In a bowl, mix the walnuts, pistachios, cinnamon, cloves, and honey until combined. Set aside.

Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Base

  1. Preheat the oven to 160°C (fan)/180°C/gas mark 4.
  2. Combine the digestive biscuit crumbs and melted butter in a bowl. Press the mixture evenly into the base of a 23cm springform tin lined with baking parchment.
  3. Bake for 10 minutes, then let it cool while you prepare the filling.

Step 3: Make the Cheesecake Filling

  1. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and caster sugar until smooth.
  2. Add the Greek yoghurt, eggs, flour, vanilla extract, and honey, and mix until fully combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 4: Assemble and Bake

  1. Spread half of the nutty baklava mixture evenly over the baked base.
  2. Pour the cheesecake filling on top and smooth the surface.
  3. Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centre has a slight wobble. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake to cool inside with the door slightly ajar.

Step 5: Prepare the Filo Topping

  1. Once the cheesecake has cooled completely, preheat the oven to 180°C (fan)/200°C/gas mark 6.
  2. Layer the filo sheets over the cheesecake, brushing each one generously with melted butter. Scrunch the edges for a decorative effect.
  3. Bake for 10–12 minutes until golden and crisp.

Step 6: Add the Finishing Touches

  1. Drizzle the filo topping with honey while warm, and sprinkle the chopped pistachios over it.
  2. Chill the cheesecake in the fridge for at least 4–6 hours (or overnight) to set completely.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy

  1. Remove the cheesecake from the tin and slice into portions. Serve chilled with an extra drizzle of honey if desired.
