  • Food processor
  • Rolling Pin
  • baking parchment

For the Cheesecake Baklava Base

  • 80 g mix of almonds, pistachios and walnuts (2 3/4 oz)

For the Cheesecake Baklava Layer

  • 400 g full fat cream cheese at room temperature (14 oz)

Blitz the nuts until finely chopped in a food processor, and transfer both mixtures to a bowl, stirring until combined.
  • Beat together the cream cheese, honey and lemon juice with a wooden spoon until smooth.
