If you enjoy Greek traditional Baklava, you will really love this Baklava Cheesecake.
I made this and wanted to decide if it really was worthy of our Greek Easter Celebration this year.
This will definitely be on our Easter Menu for as one of the featured desserts...and is so delicious it will be made often for any occasion, and also for "just because".
RespectLife it was, and still is exceptionally delicious, and I hope you and all our QVC pals also make it.
I am answering the questions I know you will ask.....No it is not hard RespectLife, and no it is not intimidating at all, and yes phyllo is very forgiving.
Just follow directions especially for keeping phyllo covered, so it does not dry out as you prepare it for this recipe.
BAKLAVA CHEESECAKE RECIPE
Filling:
1 pkg phyllo dough (14 thin sheets)
4 cups cream cheese, softened
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1-1/2 cups sugar

1 egg yolk
1/2 cup whole milk

Hi spud188,
When you love to experiment, create, prepare, serve, and enjoy various foods as my husband and I do.....Yes at times with different recipes we do go overboard.

No hopi it is not beyond your culinary skills.
It really is easy to make if you follow the very detailed directions.
I get hungry just thinking about how delicious this was......and am looking forward to how delicious it will be at my Greek Easter Dinner Celebration.
Coffee would definitely go very well with this delicious mouth watering scrumptious flaky dessert.
I do hope you will consider this as it really is not a hard recipe to follow, and if I can help give me a shout out.

Open this link below and look at the step by step video in English which shows how easy it is to make this Greek Cheesecake Baklava dessert.
Also that Greek web site has some mouth watering delicious Greek recipes as they are made in Greece, in the USA, and globally.
I hope the step by step video and audio in English enables those who feel a bit intimidated to see how easy it really is to make and enjoy this delicious decadent Greek dessert........and I hope everyone will try it.

Hopi---- although this is a decadent desert, it is very easy to make.....the only part that should be precise is the cheesecake batter and the rest is simply assembly. Almost falls into the category of no-fail....Good luck....you can do it !

Oh my! Sniff, Sniff...this is my first 'page' LOL
Thank you my friend....I may just get the nerve to try this for this weekend's church meeting. It has been on my mind...and my heart! I pulled this recipe from the link you gave me on a previous chat we were having.
My kids won't eat any kind of nuts so I would prefer to make it when it will be appreciated! LOL
I have the ingredients written down....
Thank you!!!

Again you are most welcome RespectLife,
Thanks for having a previous chat about this recipe.
Did anyone from the chat already make it?
Good luck and if you wish if you make it for the family you can make it 1/2 without and the other half with nuts...
Just score it with something that stands out like making an X on the right and an X on the left of the pan where the nuts begin, so you know not to serve the kids from that side of the baking pan.
Again ensure you score before it goes in the oven but not to the bottom of the pan, then afterwards again when it has baked, but the second time cutting down to the bottom of the pan so removal will be very tidy and easy taking into consideration the flaky phyllo leaves, should not be disturbed too much after having been baked.
RespectLife you also have the option of not adding any nuts if you prefer and it will still be just fine.
Please page me if you need more help and when you do prepare it please let me know, and enjoy it as it will be well worth the effort.
Have a great day my friend, and take good care.
