Creamy cheesecake bars infused with honey and Greek yogurt, topped with crunchy 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 for easy removal later.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and salt. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture is evenly moistened and resembles wet sand.
  3. Press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden brown. Remove it from the oven 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 and creamy.
  5. Add Greek yogurt, honey, eggs, vanilla extract, and lemon zest to the cream cheese. Mix on low speed until well combined and smooth; no lumps please!
  6. Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust, smoothing it out with a spatula to ensure an even surface.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly—this jiggle means the cheesecake will be light and fluffy after chilling!
  8. Remove from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate in the pan for at least 3 hours until firm.
  9. Drizzle the cheesecake bars with additional honey and sprinkle the chopped pistachios generously on top. Cut into squares and enjoy the deliciousness!

Notes

Use room temperature cream cheese for a smooth filling; cold cream cheese can create lumps.
