Ingredients
  

Crust
  • 1 cup Graham Cracker Crumbs Substitute with almond flour for a gluten-free option
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter Melted
Filling
  • 16 oz Cream Cheese Soft, at room temperature
  • 1 cup Greek Yogurt Can be substituted with sour cream
  • 1/3 cup Honey Consider using maple syrup for a vegan version
  • 1/2 cup Pistachios (roasted and chopped) Can be swapped with walnuts or almonds
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Use pure for best results
  • 2 large Eggs Beaten until pale

Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • Electric mixer
  • 9x9 inch baking dish
  • spatula
  • sharp knife

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until resembling wet sand. Press firmly into a greased 9x9-inch baking dish. Bake at 350°F for 8-10 minutes, until lightly golden. Cool completely.
  2. In a large bowl, blend cream cheese and Greek yogurt until smooth using an electric mixer. Gradually mix in honey and vanilla extract. Beat in the eggs one at a time until just incorporated.
  3. Gently fold in the chopped roasted pistachios with a spatula until evenly distributed.
  4. Pour the filling over the cooled crust and spread evenly. Bake at 350°F for about 30 minutes. The edges should be set, and the center should jiggle slightly.
  5. Let cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  6. Slice into squares or rectangles before serving. Optionally, drizzle with honey or dust with powdered sugar.
