Total Time: 8hrs 35mins
Ingredients:
5 ounces oat biscuits
3 ounces + 3 tbsp caster sugar (divided)
3 ounces + 1 tbsp butter (melted)
4 dried figs (chopped)
1 pound 2 ounces Greek yogurt (at room temperature)
1 pound 4 ounces cream cheese (at room temperature)
4 eggs (at room temperature)
4 tbsp plain flour
1 tbsp vanilla extract
2 ounces walnuts
1 ounce pistachios
3 tbsp clear honey

Add the dried figs and pulse once more to combine.
Transfer the mixture to a 9" springform pan, pressing the mixture down firmly.
