Description

A delightful fusion of creamy cheesecake and flaky, honey-soaked baklava, perfect for individual servings.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 cup phyllo dough, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a muffin tin with 12 paper liners.
  2. Mix chopped phyllo dough with melted butter. Press about 1 tablespoon into the bottom of each liner to form a crust.
  3. In a bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla. Fold in half of the chopped walnuts.
  4. Divide the cheesecake batter evenly among the cups. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until set. Let cool completely.
  5. Combine honey, cinnamon, and remaining walnuts. Drizzle over cooled cheesecakes. Chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
