Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs with 6 tbsp melted unsalted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even crust. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, beat 16 oz softened cream cheese with 2/3 cup granulated sugar until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes on medium speed.
  3. Step 3: Add 1/4 cup honey and 1 tsp almond extract to the cream cheese mixture. Beat until fully incorporated and fragrant, about 1 minute.
  4. Step 4: In a separate chilled bowl, whip 1 cup whipping cream on high speed until stiff peaks form, approximately 3-4 minutes.
  5. Step 5: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula until the filling is light and fluffy, about 1 minute of folding.
  6. Step 6: Pour the filling over the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Sprinkle 1/3 cup toasted sliced almonds evenly over the cheesecake surface.
  7. Step 7: Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until firm. Remove from pan before slicing and serving.
