1/4 teaspoon Salt Essential to bring out sweetness.

For the Filling

16 ounces Cream Cheese Use reduced-fat cream cheese for a lighter option.
8 ounces Mascarpone Cheese Substitute with additional cream cheese if unavailable.
1 cup Powdered Sugar Use granulated sugar ground to fine powder as an alternative.
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Swap for almond extract for a unique twist.
1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream Can replace with coconut cream for a non-dairy version.
1 tablespoon Orange Blossom Water Optional.
1 cup Honeycomb Candy Substitute with crushed nuts if honeycomb is not available.

Instructions

Crust Preparation

In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Mix well before pressing firmly into a 9-inch springform pan. Chill it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to set.

Cheese Filling Preparation

In a large mixing bowl, beat room-temperature cream cheese and mascarpone until smooth and creamy. Gradually add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated and silky.
In another bowl, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks—it should be fluffy but not too stiff. Gently fold this whipped cream into the cheese mixture, being careful to retain its lightness.
Melt the white chocolate and drizzle it over the chopped honeycomb pieces, tossing to coat lightly. Fold three-quarters of the honeycomb mixture into the cheesecake blend, along with the honey and optional orange blossom water.

Assemble and Chill

Carefully pour the cheesecake filling over your chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Sprinkle the remaining honeycomb pieces evenly on top for added crunch.
Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours; overnight chilling is best for optimal flavor and texture.

Serving

Once set, run a warm knife around the edge of the pan before gently releasing it. Slice and serve chilled, enjoying the delightful contrast of textures.
Optional: Drizzle with extra melted chocolate for an added touch of sweetness!

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for easy mixing, which prevents lumps in your filling. Avoid over-mixing the cheesecake filling once the whipped cream is added; fold gently to maintain fluffiness for a perfect consistency.
