This recipe is one of the best cheesecakes I have ever had. Ever! It’s adapted from a recipe by @elleetvirepro_arabia. I topped it with a layer of caramelized sugar similar to those of crème brûlée. Chef @karim.bourgi taught me this technique. I hope you try it, it’s beautiful, delicious and a crowd pleaser.

It is made using honey instead of sugar, lots of lemon and a mix of almond and plain flour for extra moisture. The cream cheese in the middle, mixed with some lemon zest, adds creaminess and saltiness to the delicious loaf.
