Tips for making this Baklava Cheesecake
- Feel free to use any nuts you want! Such as walnuts, almonds.
- Make sure to brush each circle of phyllo pastry before placing another one on top.
- Don’t drench your circles of phyllo pastry sheet with butter. Use just enough to spread a thin layer.
- Keep the shortbread crust refrigerated, or in the freezer before baking. Same thing with the baklava. Keep it cold at all times before transferring it to the top of the cheesecake before baking.
- Bake for about 1 hour, but make sure to check constantly, and if necessary, cover the crust with foil, in order to protect it from getting too brown.
- Let the syrup soak in fully before adding more. Make sure not to add hot syrup to the Baklava Cheesecake.
