Ingredients
  

For the crust

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs (or digestive biscuits)
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar

For the filling

  • 450 g cream cheese, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup heavy cream (cold)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp lemon juice (optional, for brightness)
  • 2 tsp cornstarch (for firmness, optional)

For the topping

  • ¾ cup honey (use high-quality, thick honey)
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1 pieces edible honeycomb pieces or honeycomb candy (optional for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preparation of Crust

  • Combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and brown sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
  • Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Refrigerate while you prepare the filling (about 20 minutes).

Preparation of Filling

  • In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and fluffy.
  • Add the vanilla extract and lemon juice (add cornstarch if using) and mix until fully combined.
  • In another bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  • Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until it's light and airy.
  • Pour the filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top.

Chilling and Topping

  • Cover the cheesecake and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight for best results.
  • Warm the honey with water in a small saucepan over low heat until it's warm and slightly runny (don’t boil it).
  • Drizzle this honey over the chilled cheesecake to create a glossy, golden layer. Optionally, top with real honeycomb pieces.

Serving

  • Slice the cheesecake using a knife dipped in hot water. Drizzle extra honey over each slice for an indulgent finish.

Notes

Chill the cheesecake overnight for the best texture. Use high-quality honey for improved flavor.
