It features a unique crust made from oats, dates, and sunflower seeds, adding a wholesome twist to the traditional cheesecake.

Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a food processor, combine the dates, oats, sunflower seeds, cinnamon, and coconut meat. Pulse until the mixture becomes coarse and combined.
- Add the melted butter to the mixture and pulse a few more times until the mixture becomes more cohesive.
- Press the mixture evenly and firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan.
- Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes. Remove and let it cool while you prepare the filling.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Add in the sour cream, vanilla extract, and honey. Mix until well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Finally, stir in the lemon juice until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
- Place the cheesecake in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
5. Cool & Chill:
- Turn off the oven and open the door slightly, letting the cheesecake cool in the oven gradually for about an hour to prevent cracking.
- Remove the cheesecake from the oven and run a knife around the edge to loosen it from the sides of the pan.
- Allow it to cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to set.
- Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan.
- Cut into slices and serve chilled. Enjoy your delicious baked honey cheesecake!
Tips:
- For the crust: Make sure to finely grind the oats, dates, sunflower seeds, and coconut meat to achieve a uniform texture for the crust. Press it firmly into the pan to ensure it holds together well.
- Room temperature ingredients: Ensure that the cream cheese, sour cream, eggs, and butter are at room temperature before you start mixing. This helps achieve a smooth and creamy filling without lumps.
- Avoid over-mixing: Mix the cheesecake filling until just combined to avoid incorporating too much air, which can cause cracks on the surface when baking.
- Water bath: Consider baking your cheesecake in a water bath to maintain an even baking temperature and prevent cracking. Wrap the outside of your springform pan in aluminum foil before placing it in the water bath to prevent water from seeping in.
- Cooling: After baking, allow the cheesecake to cool gradually to room temperature before refrigerating. This helps prevent cracks and ensures a smooth, creamy texture.
- Chill time: For best results, let the cheesecake chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to set completely and enhance its flavors.
This delectable baked honey cheesecake is sure to impress with its creamy filling and wholesome crust. Perfectly balancing sweetness and tanginess, it's a dessert everyone will love. Enjoy a slice with a cup of tea or coffee, or serve it as a stunning finish to a festive meal.
