Instructions

Prepare the Almond Flour Base:

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, melted coconut oil, honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well blended.
3. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let it cool.

Prepare the Greek Yogurt & Honey Filling:

1. Increase the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large bowl, beat the softened Norman's Kosher Cholov Yisroel Cream Cheese until smooth.
3. Add Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract. Beat until well combined.
4. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition until fully incorporated.
5. Mix in the cornstarch and a pinch of salt until smooth and creamy.
6. Pour the filling over the cooled almond flour base in the springform pan.
7. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
8. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour.
9. Remove from oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Prepare the Toasted Almonds Topping:

1. In a small saucepan, combine honey and coconut oil over medium heat until melted and combined.
2. Add sliced almonds and stir to coat them evenly.
3. Toast the almonds in the saucepan, stirring frequently, until golden brown and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Remove from heat and let cool.

Assemble the Cheesecake:

1. Once the cheesecake is fully chilled, remove it from the springform pan and transfer it to a serving plate.
2. Top the cheesecake with the toasted almond mixture.
3. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
