Ingredients
- 12 oz pistachios
- 1 tbsp ghee
- 1/2 package phyllo dough
- 1/4 cup walnuts
Cheesecake Filling
- 1 lb cream cheese
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup honey
Rose‑Honey Syrup
- 1 cup honey
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tsp rose water
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 350°F (347°F).
- 2In a food processor, combine pistachios, ghee, and honey; process until finely chopped. If you don’t have a processor, finely chop the walnuts and mix all ingredients together in a bowl.
- 3Brush a greased 8‑inch springform pan with melted ghee and layer four sheets of phyllo dough, brushing each sheet with melted ghee before adding the next.
- 4Spread the pistachio‑nut mixture evenly over the layered phyllo, reserving about 1/4 cup of nuts for later.
- 5In a stand mixer, beat the cream cheese until fluffy. Add honey, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- 6Pour the cheesecake batter over the nut‑phyllo layer, smoothing the top.
- 7Top with the remaining chopped walnuts, brush with melted ghee, and add the remaining phyllo sheets, brushing each with ghee.
- 8Bake for 45–50 minutes, until the cheesecake is set and the phyllo is golden brown.
- 9Allow the cake to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- 10While the cheesecake chills, make the rose‑honey syrup: combine 1 cup honey, 1/2 cup water, and 1 tsp rose water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
- 11When the cheesecake is fully chilled, drizzle the cooled rose‑honey syrup over the top and serve.
