Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9-inch springform pan by lining the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll the phyllo dough and cover it with a damp cloth. Brush each sheet with melted butter and layer them in the springform pan. Bake for 12 minutes or until golden.
  3. Combine the chopped pistachios with melted butter. Spread the nut mixture over the baked phyllo base.
  4. In a bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time and fold in the yogurt.
  5. Pour the cheesecake filling over the nut layer and smooth the top with a spatula.
  6. Bake for 45 minutes. Leave it in the oven for an additional 50 minutes to cool gradually.
  7. Remove cheesecake from the oven and let it cool. Drizzle warm honey syrup over the top and sprinkle chopped pistachios. Chill in the refrigerator before slicing.
