A delightful blend of creamy cheesecake filling with a crunchy graham cracker crust, infused with Greek yogurt, honey, and toasted pistachios.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup honey (plus 2 tablespoons for drizzling)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • ½ cup chopped and toasted pistachios

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper.
  2. Mix together graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl.
  3. Pour in melted butter and stir until moistened.
  4. Press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan and bake for 8 to 10 minutes.
  5. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C) once the crust has cooled.
  6. Beat cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth and creamy.
  7. Add Greek yogurt, honey, eggs, vanilla extract, and lemon zest, mixing until smooth.
  8. Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust.
  9. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are set and center jiggles slightly.
  10. Cool the cheesecake to room temperature.
  11. Refrigerate in the pan for at least 3 hours.
  12. Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with chopped pistachios before serving.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for better mixing. Parchment paper helps in easy removal of the cheesecake bars.
