Honey and Fig Cheesecake Bars

These Honey Walnut Fig Cheesecake Bars. Are. In. Sane.

You know how in these pictures you see little crumbs everywhere? That’s because I kept eating bars off camera and they’d crumble all over the table.

It all starts with a walnut graham cracker crust. The richness of the walnuts makes for a seriously addicting layer. Like, I would eat this on its own.

Next is a creamy honey cheesecake layer. It’s light enough that it doesn’t weigh you down, but thick enough that it feels velvety on your tongue.

A mosaic of fresh figs tops it off. It makes the bars look so artistic and elegant! They add a mild fruity sweetness that keeps the bars fresh and light. Plus, it’s really satisfying to get all the figs to fit together perfectly

Description

A sweet walnut crust is the key to these velvety cheesecake bars topped with stunning fresh figs and honey.


Ingredients

Scale

For the crust

  • ½ cup walnuts
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 6 tablespoons butter, melted

For the honey cheesecake

  • 10 oz cream cheese, room temperature
  • 2 eggs, room temperature
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 6 fresh figs, sliced thin lengthwise (wait to slice until the very end)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a 9×9 pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a food processor, combine the walnuts, graham cracker crumbs, and sugar. Pulse until the mixture resembles a fine sand and the walnuts are completely pulverized. Pour in butter and pulse until it comes together. Press the crust firmly and evenly into the pan.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whip cream cheese and eggs until light and fluffy. Add in honey, vanilla, and salt, mixing until combined. Pour over prepared crust.
  4. Place the 9×9 pan in a water bath (you will need a larger pan filled with 1 inch of water) and place everything into the oven. Bake for 1 hour, then allow the cheesecake to cool completely (about 4 hours).
  5. Once cooled, arrange the fresh fig slices over the cheesecake. Use a sharp knife or scissors to cut the figs to fit around the perimeter.
