Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill while you prepare the filling.
- Mix the Cream Cheeses: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and mascarpone cheese together until smooth and creamy.
- Sweeten the Filling: Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture, beating until fully incorporated.
- Whip the Cream: In a separate mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks. Gently fold into the cheese mixture in thirds.
- Incorporate Honeycomb: Fold ¾ of the honeycomb mixture into the cheesecake filling along with honey and optional orange blossom water.
- Assemble and Chill: Pour the creamy cheesecake filling onto the chilled crust, sprinkle the remaining honeycomb on top, cover, and chill for at least 6 hours.
- Serve: Run a warm knife around the edges of the pan to release the cake. Carefully slice and serve chilled.
Notes
To maintain the crunchy texture of the honeycomb, only add it as a topping just before serving if storing leftovers.
