Baklava Cheesecake Recipe

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Unroll 1 can of crescent dough, then place it into an ungreased 9 x 13-inch pan.

Beat the cream cheese, 1 cup of sugar and lemon peel on medium speed until fluffy.

Spread the mixture over prepared dough and set aside.

Combine the walnuts, remaining ½ cup of sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.

Sprinkle them over the cream cheese.

Place the second crescent dough sheet over the first, covering the filling.

Combine the lemon juice and honey in a small bowl, then brush them over the dough.

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until lightly browned.

Cool for 20 minutes.

Refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight.

Serve, and enjoy!
