A delightful blend of creamy cheesecake laced with honey and Greek yogurt, topped with crunchy, toasted pistachios.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 cup pistachios, chopped and toasted
  • 2 tablespoons honey (for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and salt. Stir in melted butter until the mixture is evenly moistened.
  3. Press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan and bake for 8-10 minutes until golden brown. Remove and let it cool completely.
  4. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth.
  5. Add Greek yogurt, honey, eggs, vanilla extract, and lemon zest to the cream cheese. Mix on low speed until well combined and smooth.
  6. Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust, smoothing it out with a spatula.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly. Remove and allow to cool to room temperature.
  8. Refrigerate the bars in the pan for at least 3 hours until firm.
  9. Just before serving, drizzle the bars with additional honey and sprinkle chopped pistachios on top. Cut into squares and enjoy.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days or freeze for up to three months.
