BAKLAVA-STYLE CHEESECAKE BARS



Baklava-Style Cheesecake Bars image

When I think of baklava, I think of flaky, crispy pastry and sticky honey-lemon syrup with crunchy nuts. These cheesecake bars hit all those notes and more! The added tang of the cream cheese layer only works to enhance the bright tang from the lemon in the honey syrup. Keep these refrigerated for up to 3 days.

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 11

cooking spray
12 sheets frozen phyllo dough, thawed
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup honey
½ cup water
½ cup finely chopped walnuts
¼ cup finely chopped pistachio nuts
1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line the bottom and sides of a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing excess to hang over sides. Lightly grease with cooking spray.
  • Place 1 sheet phyllo dough in the prepared pan, pressing phyllo into the bottom; brush with some butter. Layer with remaining 11 phyllo sheets, brushing each layer with butter. Keep unused phyllo covered with a damp paper towel to prevent it from drying out while working.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until light golden brown, about 5 minutes. Place on a wire rack and let cool slightly, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • While phyllo cools, reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Beat cream cheese with an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on medium speed until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Add sugar and vanilla extract; beat on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Spread in an even layer over cooled phyllo.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until filling has set, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Refrigerate until completely cooled, about 45 minutes more.
  • Meanwhile, bring honey and water to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened and syrupy, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in walnuts, pistachios, and lemon zest until combined. Let cool to room temperature, about 45 minutes.
  • Spoon over cooled cheesecake. Using excess parchment, lift cheesecake out of the pan, and slice into 2x2-inch bars.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality cream cheese for a smooth and creamy cheesecake filling.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing it with the other ingredients.
  • Do not overbeat the cheesecake filling, as this can cause it to become dense and crumbly.
  • Bake the cheesecake in a water bath to prevent it from cracking.
  • Allow the cheesecake to cool completely before serving.
  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate in the crust.
  • Add a layer of fresh berries or fruit to the top of the cheesecake before serving.
  • Serve the cheesecake with whipped cream or ice cream.

Conclusion:

Honey cheesecake bars are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion.

The combination of sweet honey and creamy cheesecake is sure to please everyone, and the chocolate crust adds a rich and decadent flavor.
