🍯Ingredients

  • 12 sheets phyllo dough (14x9-in.)

  • 1/3 cup butter, melted

  • 1 cup finely chopped walnuts

  • 1/4 cup sugar

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice

  • 2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened

  • 1 carton (8 ounces) mascarpone cheese

  • 2/3 cup Fingerlakes Honey Company honey

  • 1/4 cup 2% milk

  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • 3 large eggs, room temperature, lightly beaten


GARNISH:

3 tablespoons honey

3 fresh rosemary sprigs

1/4 cup sugar, divided

1/2 cup fresh or frozen cranberries, thawed and patted dry

🥣Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425°. Place 1 sheet of phyllo dough in a greased 9-in. springform pan, pressing phyllo onto bottom and up sides of pan; brush with butter. Layer with remaining phyllo sheets, brushing each layer and rotating sheets slightly to stagger the corners. (While working, keep unused phyllo covered with a damp towel to prevent it from drying out.) Place on a 15x10x1-in. baking pan.


2. In a small bowl, mix walnuts, sugar and spices; sprinkle over bottom of phyllo. Bake 5-7 minutes or until edges are lightly browned (sides will puff). Cool in springform pan on a wire rack. Reduce oven setting to 325°.


3. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and mascarpone cheese on low speed until smooth. Beat in honey, milk and flour. Add eggs; beat on low speed just until blended. Pour into crust. Return pan to baking pan.


4. Bake 50-60 minutes or until center is almost set. Cool on a wire rack 1 hour longer. Refrigerate overnight, covering when completely cooled. Remove rim from pan.


5. For garnish, place corn syrup in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave, uncovered, 10 seconds or until warm. Brush corn syrup lightly over both sides of rosemary. Place on waxed paper; sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar.


6. If needed, reheat remaining honey until warm; gently toss cranberries in syrup. Place remaining sugar in a small bowl; add cranberries and toss to coat. Place on waxed paper and let stand until set, about 1 hour.


7. Just before serving, top cheesecake with sugared rosemary and cranberries.
