Ingredients
For the crust:
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ¼ cup melted butter
- 2 tbsp honey
For the filling:
- 2 lbs (900g) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup honey
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
For topping (optional):
- 2 tbsp honey (for drizzling)
- Fresh berries or nuts
Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the crust: Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and honey until well combined. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool.
2️⃣ Make the filling: In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add honey and sugar, mixing well. Beat in eggs one at a time, ensuring a creamy consistency. Stir in vanilla extract and lemon juice.
3️⃣ Bake the cheesecake: Pour the filling over the crust. Bake for 55–60 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside with the door slightly open for an hour.
4️⃣ Chill & serve: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight). Before serving, drizzle with honey and garnish with fresh berries or nuts. Slice and enjoy!
