Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine finely chopped pistachios, softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, and a pinch of salt. Blend until it resembles wet sand. Press into a greased 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Gradually add honey, then beat in eggs one at a time until pale and frothy.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust, spreading evenly. Sprinkle crushed pistachios and baklava pieces on top and gently press them into the filling.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes until the edges are set but the center remains jiggly.
- Let cool at room temperature for about an hour, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Remove from pan, slice into wedges, and serve with whipped cream or a drizzle of honey.

Notes
Ensure cream cheese is fully softened for a creamy filling. Watch baking time closely for the perfect texture. Chill overnight for enhanced flavors.
