Method

Preparation

1

Make the Cheesecake Base

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer.

2

Bake the Base

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove and let it cool.

3

Prepare the Labneh Filling

In a large mixing bowl, beat the labneh and cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, vanilla extract, eggs, and lemon juice. Mix until well combined and smooth.

4

Combine and Bake

Pour the labneh filling over the cooled crust. Spread it evenly and smooth the top. Bake in the oven for 45-50 minutes or until set and the edges are lightly golden.

5

Cool and Chill

Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool at room temperature for about 1 hour. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set completely.

6

Serve

Before serving, top the cheesecake with chopped bastilla nuts and serve with scoops of vanilla gelato.
