Ingredients

• 200 g Honey graham crackers (crushed)
• 80 g Unsalted butter (melted)
• 500 g Cream cheese (softened)
• 200 g Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat)
• 150 ml Honey
• 3 Eggs
• 2 tsp Vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp Cornstarch
• 120 ml Heavy cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F). Line a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan with parchment paper and lightly grease the sides.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.

Step 3

Press the graham cracker mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust. Place it in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand or stand mixer until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Add the Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese and mix until well combined.

Step 6

Mix in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.

Step 7

Sift in the cornstarch and beat until the mixture is smooth and lump-free. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 8

Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Place the springform pan on a baking tray and transfer to the oven. Bake for 55-60 minutes or until the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle when gently shaken.

Step 10

Turn off the oven, crack the door slightly, and allow the cheesecake to cool in the oven for 1 hour to prevent cracking.

Step 11

Once cooled, transfer the cheesecake to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.

Step 12

Before serving, prepare the honey glaze by gently heating the remaining honey and heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat until combined and slightly thickened.

Step 13

Drizzle the warm honey glaze over the chilled cheesecake, allowing it to flow over the edges for a stunning presentation.

Step 14

Slice and serve your honey cheesecake, garnished with fresh fruit or edible flowers if desired. Enjoy!
