Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
  2. Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a mixing bowl, and press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Bake for 10 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth, then gradually add the honey and Greek yogurt, blending until fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed just until blended after each addition.
  5. Gently fold in the chopped pistachios with a spatula.
  6. Pour the cheesecake filling over the pre-baked crust and bake for 25-30 minutes until edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly.
  7. Cool at room temperature for about an hour, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  8. Cut into squares or bars and enjoy chilled, optionally drizzled with honey.
