Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter the bottom and sides of a 9x13-inch pan.
  2. 2 Toss walnuts and cinnamon together in a bowl and set aside.
  3. 3 Unroll phyllo dough and trim to just slightly larger than the pan so dough will run up the sides. Place 2 sheets of dough in the prepared pan and butter thoroughly. Repeat for a total of 8 sheets layered. Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of cinnamon-walnut mixture on top. Top with 2 more sheets of dough, butter, cinnamon-walnut mixture; repeat and end with 3 sheets of dough. Butter the top of the baklava.
  4. 4 Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Leave oven on.
  5. 5 Meanwhile, combine cream cheese, sugar, and flour in the bowl of an electric mixer. Beat on high power until smooth, about 1 minute. Scrape the bowl. Beat on low speed and add eggs 1 at a time, beating about 15 seconds after each. Scrape bowl. Add lemon juice and beat on high speed until well blended, about 1 minute. Pour mixture over baked baklava crust in the pan while crust is still hot.
  6. 6 Bake in the hot oven until set, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool to room temperature, about 1 hour.
  7. 7 Cut cooled cheesecake into 12 servings.
  8. 8 Combine water and sugar in a saucepan and bring to a boil until melted, about 5 minutes. Add honey and vanilla extract and simmer for 20 minutes. Drizzle hot sauce over the cooled cake, making sure to get in between the slices.
  9. 9 Refrigerate uncovered or only lightly covered with aluminum foil; a tight seal will make it soggy.

  2. 2 Place a piece of foil on a clean work surface and position cream cheese on top of the foil. Sprinkle cream cheese with seafood seasoning. Using a knife, score the block of cream cheese so that the smoke can penetrate into the cheese.
