  2. Prep the pan by greasing a 9-inch springform pan with butter and lining the base with parchment paper.
  3. Layer the phyllo dough sheets, buttering each generously; layer 10-12 sheets in the pan and sprinkle with pistachios and sugar.
  4. Make the cheesecake filling by beating cream cheese and gradually adding sugar, then eggs, sour cream, and vanilla.
  5. Pour the cream cheese filling over the pistachio layer in the pan.
  6. Top with another layer of 10-12 phyllo sheets, buttering each and folding edges over the filling.
  7. Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes until set but wobbly in the center.
  8. Cool the cheesecake at room temperature for an hour, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
  9. Serve with a drizzle of cooled honey syrup and garnish with extra chopped pistachios.
